We must embark upon our qwest to qwell the demon that sleeps within the mountain. For if the demo awakens all are in peril.

Those who are brave enought to stand with me, willing to march the 40 leuges to the face of the Mt. St Helens, and then climb the razor rock face to the summit and decend down into its lava dome, trek across the heaving face of moving liquid earth to the doom of death itself, cast aside its stones and decend into the depths of hell and prevent the awakening of the evil demon that lives below, shall forever be known as the brotherhood of the damned stupid.

Oh, problems like that you just ask a certified mad, scientist.

Giant water balloon will take care of all your troubles.

Since so many people here seem to be constantly Online, you can watch for signs of eruption yourself at the government supplied webcam:

My TV program was just interrupted to say that it has just errupted.

RUN!

It has, indeed, begun a steam eruption. My local TV channel website has a video posted that I can't view at work, but HERE is a link to it. Kinda makes me glad to be back in California where earthquakes are our biggest threat.

Gandalph, it must be a big newsday, because I didn't see any reference to Mt. St. Helens on the front page of that website. I'm looking at Atrocities' link. I hate listening to talk radio at work, and then not being able to watch the news when I get home. That's what happened on 9-11. I hate to wait until that evening before I actually saw the devestation. Hopefully for you guys who live in the area, it won't be a big eruption. I don't think anything can match what happened in 1980, but then again, lightning has actually been known to strike the same place twice. So God speed and good luck.

I'm not too worried about Mt St. Helens, I for one, welcome our Giant Insect Overlords ...

It's coming right for us ...

That Mount St. Helens webcam looks like just a screen full of static...

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.

Although we did get a light, very light, dusting of ash. It has been over twenty years seens we have seen ash fall from the sky. I can remember the ash after an erutption, being so thick it was breaking branches off of trees because it stuck to the leaves like snow.

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.
