Weather there will be an erruption or not will depend on nature's rules not the geologist's. Those guys are still trying to figure out the 'why' let alone the 'when' factor in natures rules.

my 2 cents for free.

Cheers!

It was all about driving up the tourist revenue. We have eruptions like this all the time. It really is a big joke here about all the people who came because the news hyped it so ravidly.

I am honestly laughing my arse off at all the people who bought into the BIG ERUPTION hype from the media. This just goes to show you that the free press and media of the US are driven by hype, Bull****, and sensationalism based upon weak information and questionable executive decisions.

THERE WAS NO DANGER OF AN ERUPTION. It was all designed to generate interest in the mountain and see how many stupid people we could get to come see it. In a way I wish the MT had blown, that way we could have wiped out an entire hurd of STUPID PEOPLE in one shot.

"Hey the news says that Mt. St. Helens is going to blow!"
"Get the kids and gas up the car! We're heading for the MT."

Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I wonder what those stupid SOB's would do if the Mt had blown up? After it was all said and done you would first see them on the news saying "We had no warning." and then in court claiming damages from both GOD and the Owners of Mt. St. Helens. YES WE DO NEED TORT REFORM!

Fear not, the eruption today from our POV looked more like a could floating over the moutain than an eruption. I am on the south east side of the moutain and unless it blows HUGE, it will just look like a small eruption to us.

Hmmmm...It looks like you bought into the hype in this post, AT.

A few other Posts also showed you were hoping it would not blow like it did in '80, so that shows you thought there was a chance it could blow.

Also there hasn't been any activity of this sort at the mountain in quite some time. If these small eruptions were normal I am sure they would not have made it the center of news for a few days.

Oh yes, because the news media never exaggerates stories or makes things up... where oh where are my killer bees?

I didn't say they never exaggerate stories or make things up...They do that quite often. But there has been no activity of this sort, on this particular mountain, since either the late 80s or early 90s.

I did not buy into the hype. I heard about it, posted because it was interesting. From that point the NEWS made a huge deal out of it, and the those in charge felt that they had to give them something so they elevated the alert to 3. Everything from Last week to now was just to drive up revenue.
