Volcano Erupts In Southwest Alaska, Sending Ash 20,000 Feet (google.com)
USA Today reports that according to the U.S. Geological Survey, the Pavlov Volcano, "about 600 miles southwest of Anchorage, erupted at 4:18 p.m. local time. The agency says the eruption also led to tremors on the ground. ... The USGS has raised the volcano alert level to "Warning" and the aviation warning to 'Red.'" Television station KTUU of Anchorage has a few photos of the emerging ash plume, which has so far risen to about 20,000 feet (hence that aviation warning).
I think I felt those tremors in the ground and I live in Knik. (Near Wasilla and across the bay from Anchorage.)
Thought it was the start of an earthquake but apparently it was a volcano.
Both Palin and Putin can see it from their houses.

Did someone ring a bell?
That's a local word, right? I don't know what it means but it sounds bad!
AoE Warning!
Since volcano obviously does AoE damage!
According to Wikipedia it's spelled Pavlof. It's located pretty far out on the Alaska Peninsula.
It's Inuktitut for "It's snowing rocks, let's get the f**k out of here!"
Alaskans could tell it was the Pavlov Volcano because all of their dogs started drooling.
