Cpl. Barrett Taylor, a village public safety officer in Nelson Lagoon, saw ash falling early Monday.
"It was raining ash for a little bit," Taylor said. "It turned everything black, the rooftops, the fuel tanks, homes."
The ash was worse Tuesday, he said, because wind coming in off the ocean was whipping it around.
