Exclamation Mt. St. Helens

She's at it again! There's a pretty big cloud of ash and steam hanging over the mountain.. from what the news says it happened about 40 mins ago. Plume is over 36000 feet high


Lol- it erupted out of spite! I washed my car for the first time since September this afternoon.

I was on a job and saw it go off. It clouded up about a half hour after it started, so couldn't see to much after, but the plume looked to be traveling SE. You Eastern Wash. guys should be OK till the wind changes.

Wasn't as big as the main eruption years ago, but it still has some force.

Well, you know the saying up here: "If it hasn't erupted recently or doesn't have a glacier, it's not a real mountain."

Here's some nifty pics taken this afternoon. I had a killer view from the lot this afternoon as I was leaving.

The volcanocam is blank - what's going on?
I know the range is five miles, is it another big one?

I can't help thinking that this ties in with the Edgar Cayce discussion, in a way. I wonder what's going to happen...

It beg a few questions, don't it?

When the cam is blank or black, its because it's still too dark.Try again during daylight hours. ( Either that or there's a glitch...I'll go look right now.)

The view I got this morning is clouds. It's snowing here in Mt, so I expect the weather over there isn't a lot better.

They're thinking of opening up Johnston Observatory to the public again. It's been closed since the small eruption last year, but the small ones they've had since have not affected observatory.

When what freezes over? We left coasters take pride in building in places that defy the gods- it's part of the experience. I've lived here for over 30 years, and have yet to come across a Northwesterner that moved back East...voluntarily.

You guys on the left coast don't have to worry about nuthin y'know. Everything east of the San Andreas Fault is eventually gonna fall into the Atlantic Ocean.
Seriously though, is it supposed to blow itself to smithereenes?
