Ah, they'll just dig out from under 12" of ash like they did when Mount Saint Helens blew up. It's like snow!
On that topic, I highly recommend anyone visiting the Portland area head up to Mt St Helens if they've got time & hike up to the crater rim. It's a bitch of a climb but you don't need any special gear, and the scene when you get to that last 10 yards and look over the rim to see firsthand what happens when a mountain explodes - it's unreal. One of the coolest landscapes I've ever seen.
