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.

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

Whenever I look at that webcam page it just shows a dark purple screen that looks like a TV screen full of static. I just realized - DUH - that it's probably because I've always been going to that page at night. Maybe I should try during the day when there's actually some light...

I'm getting the same picture, but that's because there's a 3 hour time difference between Florida and Oregon. That means I still got to wait another hour or two before it gets light enough for me to see anything on the screen. Hope there's something to see.

Well, I've been checking since I came back from lunch. There's definitely something going on. But is the Big One coming anytime soon? From my understanding, this could take awhile.

Still (only) smoke !!
