RUMBLE RUMBLE *Mt. St. Helen* Boom?

The last pic that I see is 9h44am PST... that's about 20 mins ago...no update.

Looks steamy though!
 
Yeah I dunno.
It was updating about every 5-10 mins. until it actually started doing
something. I guess even this is about money. I'm guessing there letting the news media,
get their groove on or something.
 
Looked like it was going to get exciting there for a bit, but now it seems to be calming back down again.
 
This is kinda interesting...
You can see the rise in the river from, I guess, where it's melting a glacier...
 
Oh lovely.

MOUNT ST. HELENS, Wash. -- Scientists said the earthquakes and explosions at Mount St. Helens could lead to an eruption as powerful as the one in 1980, KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reported.

The volcano reportedly spewed more steam overnight, but earthquakes continued to be fairly light, striking about once a minute and registering about magnitude one.

Meanwhile, the speculation continued about what exactly is happening underneath the mountain.

Scientists said part of the lava dome in the volcano's crater has risen 50 to 100 feet since Tuesday, a sign -- along with mild earthquake activity -- that molten rock may be moving toward the surface without much resistance.

KING TV in Seattle broadcast scenes of the emission. Station meteorologist Jeff Renner reported that wind patterns were forecast to take the ash over the Cascade Range, not over population centers.

There was no indication yet whether there was any eruption from the volcano.

I don't see any steam :confused:
 
With all inherent dangers of living in the new world, you may wonder why your forefathers bothered at all. :D
 
Get out before the whole place blows up. Your British right? Don't you miss ecology that can't kill you?

Ce n'est pas si pire que sa, mon ami! :D You should see the ladies before making such a harsh decision :D

Hell... a good chunk of Canada is on the 'shield'... pretty damn stable ground.
The biggest quake that I remember was in the 5-range....we broke one plate. :)

Mind you...the suburb that I live in was built on a drained swamp...so it sucks for farming and we've got pyrite to spare, but it's nice. :D

...and the cold outside is only indicative of the warmth inside.

I might be inclined to agree with that. :confused:
Didn't they a 'mild' earthquake there some months back? like a 2 or something?

I'd probably live closer up that way, if I could take the cold better.
Yeah I'm a wimp when it comes to the cold. :lloyd:

That area though would probably be where I'd have 'one' of my summer house(s)
IF I where rich enough.
