MSNBC has an article on the eruption, with a small distant photo of the plume. Spacedaily.com has an article also

Dark? hehe, looks like the camera isn't working. Maybe the volcano ate it?

ANyone notice the line:

The blast sent clouds of volcanic ash high into the atmosphere, where jet streams carried it as far as the US eastern seaboard 34,800km away.

the conversion chart I looked at said that 34,800km is 21624 miles. I think they meant 3480 km.

Will be interesting to see pics once they get daylight to photograph.
