Don’t worry, prevailing winds will make everything go east from where you are.
Take a look at the maps from the two major erruptions from Yellowstone... very interesting and very broad affecting the west coast all the way to the gulf area.
Not necessarily.
Since you seem to have some familiarity with the subject - I thought previous eruption ash falls went to the southwest - has the jet stream changed? Should we in Central Florida expect lots of guests soon? ;-)
