Beat me by one minute--I was just going to edit my post to mention the quote (now that I read the article).
Still, an AVO geologist doesn't have any clue about wind/weather patterns and ash fall areas. He should have said "no comment" and left that up to the NWS--they're the ones forecasting ash fall--rather than freaking everyone out (you should have seen all of my Anchorage friends posting on Facebook about the end of the world...
).
Oh, and
beckoa told me he couldn't get the following image of the seismogram to post. Well, here ya go...
