SEATTLE - The flurry of earthquakes at Mount St. Helens intensified further Thursday, and one scientist put the chance of a small eruption happening in the next few days at 70 percent.

Jeff Wynn, chief scientist at the U.S. Geologic Survey's Cascade Volcano Observatory in Vancouver, Wash., said tiny quakes were happening three or four times a minute. Larger quakes, with magnitudes of 3 to 3.3, were happening every three or four minutes, he said.

New measurements show the 975-foot lava dome in the volcano's crater has moved 2

She's gonna blow...

;D

Thats nothing to smile about dude.  It shouldn't be too big, but if it goes it will affect people's lives.

[BFMF]

Atleast it won't be as big as last time if and when it erupts again.

[Saitek]

Well I didn't think she was due to blow yet. :X
Och well, a small one would be nice!
I don't know why, but I like Volcanoes. They are so impressive.

I hope she doesn't blow. I remember the last one affected the weather over here in Europe for several years afterwards. Forget all this talk of "Global Warming". Mother Nature is far more powerful than anything us pathetic humans can do.

I sure can remember the last time, lived in MI and we had ash and debris all over the place for weeks!

I was curious as to how much this asteroid that made it's recent passing might have had on our current situations.
I know when the moon go off course a hair and other astronomical events of a big proportion take place that they can cause strange happenings on earth.
Could this be a explaination to the outbreak of hurricanes, earthquakes and a possible eruption?
Definately something to ponder.

Anyone ever fly over St Hellens in MSFS2004?  You can see where the past eruption leveled the forrest because the vegitation (texture) is totally different on that side of the mountain.

Is Unpredictible

[Ivan]

That one is a lot more dangerous compared to Etna... which is leaking all the time

[ChuckMajik]

Just say some live shots of Helens, looks like it's getting active.

[ChuckMajik]

Yup, it's erupting. Them helo shots don't lie.

[ChuckMajik]
