Mount St. Helens round II

Looks like Friday, Oct 1 may be the beginning of more activity. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6092368/ I'm gonna have a few extra air filters on hand, lol. They were hard to get back in 1980.

Hey Bill, I was in Yakima May 18,1980. What an experience that was! Hope you don't go through another one like that.

She's just shaking a bit now and then. Not too much to worry about though; back in 80 the mountian blew off the top 1300 feet. Not quite as much to blast away when it blows these days. BTW, I see the URL in my first post has been updated. What is surprising is how some people just can't seem to get close enough to the thing right now. Doesn't anyone remember that eruptions on that mountian are explosive? Dirt/rock/trees were flying at an estimated 300 MPH and temperatures in the mid 600 degree farenheit range. If you were too close when it blew, you barely had time to turn your head to see it comming, then you were vaporized ( ).

Here is a link to the volcano cam. It is supposed to update every 5 min. On friday when the mountain released some gas the cam was so buisy I couldn't get it to open. I live about 40 miles from the mountain (as the crow flies). It will be interesting to see what happens.

I see that 9:44am pic; not sure if it's clouds or steam blowing................

On edit: there's the 9:54am pic............it's steam and ? They need to adjust that cam to show more vertically.
