Yes it will, but who can say when it will.

Whaa? Was this just a pathetic attempt at derailing?

Bring Zimphire back to the poli-lounge, then Mt. St. Helen may erupt. Remember the last time it erupted, majorally?

Yeah I do. I was in grade school at the time. Big event.

No, that's your business

Earthquakes started hitting it about a week ago, so something's up. As to whether is will go off again, I'd say definitely. It's just a question of when and how big.

It's amazing how after 24 years, the landscape to the north of the mountain is still largely barren. There's some greenery here and there, but for the most part it still looks devastated.

Me too. I remember some kid bringing Mr. St. Helen's ashes in for show and tell.

Ebay will be flooded with crap like that if it does go off soon.

Thought they were saying it was unlikely to erupt again.

Whatever happens, I'm sure it's liberal propaganda.

That was on 8:32 Sunday morning, May 18, 1980.

Geez, that's not that old. You just think it is because you're a little kid.

I remember we had a thin film of very fine ash on our cars in the days following the eruption. It was hard to believe that it had traveled so far.

[djohnson]

Now it will blow any day.

Hang on, he said he was in GRADE SCHOOL at that time.
What's the average age of grade students ? Add 24.
Now tell me if he's old or not !

I agree, it certainly isn't that old!
How close were you, xi_hyperon? I remember going on a backpacking trip in the Olympic Mtns. and all the leaves there were coated with ash a week or two after the eruption.

I was in Oklahoma. The jet stream carried it from the northwest across our state, which really surprised me. In fact, when my parents told me, I thought they were just messing with me until I saw it on the local news. It was just weird... being in the midwest and looking at particles from a mountain on the west coast.

My Aunt and Uncle sent me a couple of souvenir bags of Mount St. Helens pumice people were selling back then.
Might just still have them at my parents house. Maybe I can sell it on Ebay now

I drove up to the Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument like in July '04. I spent a day there.. but it was windy and stuff... normally the frogs were there during that time, but they were all gone.. that national park tour guide told us that the frogs used to very common in Summer.

Anyway.. I took some pictures.. but I didn't do a good job on that.. since it was too windy and I didn't prepare well enough. It's not that far away from where I am living right now...

Mount St. Helens Erupts
Washington Volcano Has Not Erupted in 18 Years
The Associated Press
Friday, October 1, 2004; 4:10 PM


MOUNT ST. HELENS, Wash. -- Mount St. Helens, the volcano that blew its top with cataclysmic force in 1980, erupted for the first time in 18 years Friday, belching a huge column of white steam and ash after days of rumblings.

"This is exactly the kind of event we've been predicting," said U.S. Geological Survey scientist Cynthia Gardner.

Steam and ash erupt from Mount St. Helens. It is the first time the volcano has erupted in 18 years.

Still, the eruption was nowhere near what happened 24 years ago, when 57 people were killed and towns 250 miles away were coated with ash.

About 20 minutes after Friday's eruption, the mountain calmed and the plume began to dissipate.

The National Weather Service notified the Federal Aviation Administration, in case planes needed to be rerouted.

The steam cloud poured from the southern edge of a 1,000-foot-tall lava dome in the volcano's crater. Steam frequently rises from the crater, but the 8,364-foot peak had not erupted since 1986.

For the past week, scientists have detected thousands of earthquakes of increasing strength -- as high as magnitude 3.3 -- suggesting another eruption was on the way.

I was wondering what they white smoke on the USDA page was from. I checked around and it had not hit the news lines yet... Now I know!

watching the local news here.. although I am late.

That's it, she's gone back to sleep. She is done. She just wanted some attention I think.

Cool!

[storer]

nice photo. i would like a high res for a wallpaper

but neways, i expected a thread bout a religios group's movement against scientists.

[Montezuma58]

Friday's eruption may have just been a test fart.

Within hours of the eruption Friday, seismic readings suggested pressure was building again inside the volcano

[storer]

ooooh... you guys are in for some fun!

[gadster]

So is the weather God's doing? Or that other Superhero's?

[DeathToWindows]

This could be interesting.

[MilkmanDan]

Hmm..... so it's kinda like the earth is having a bowel movement. Right?

Thank god I'm in Japan, who nothing geological ever happens.

(note in the first month I was in quite a few small quakes, enough to rattle the entire apartment complex)

[kiwibabe]

So what happened with the eruption, I was all excited with the prospect of lava etc. Maybe its gone back to sleep ...

It's still urping.

It's sort of like the day after a long night of drinking. One isn't sure if the stomach is going to hold through the next day; there's just burbling, and the gut isn't committing to one way or the other. That's Mt. St. Helens at the moment.

I think your right. Its looking promising though.
