For all you people trying to live in Alaska, here is somethng just out that you may want to take a gander at: Alaska volcano lava dome forms, alert level raised - Yahoo! News
Nadja, that volcano is way down the Alaska Peninsula, and Very FAR out in the bush. There are less than 1000 people with 500 miles of it in the winters. Typically any ash from the Cleveland Volcano, will be blown out to sea, on either the Pacific, or Bering Sea, side, depending on which way the wind is blowing that day. Not a BIG Issue, except for Cross Pacific Flights, using the Northern Routes and flying below 30K ft..... ..... YMMV....
