Homer Spit Ash Fall

An eerie stillness descended upon the Homer Spit as the ash cloud fell. It blocked the sun, changed day into night, and caused the air temperature to drop. Birds stopped singing and most people moved inside to protect themselves, their pets, and their homes or businesses from the insidious ash that fell.

Floating Ash Cloud

An unusual ash cloud formation, called cumulonimbus mammatus, floated over Anchor Point and the Homer hills.
