Ok, a volcano really shouldn't be turning in to a political debate.  It's not even like the thing is threatening a population center or anything.  Please?

I was just being silly :sigh:

It's a terrible thing. :(

There happy now?:D

I'm of the opinion that we need a representation of nature's true power every once in a while to remind us of our place.

No shaking, no plume of smoke that was visible (I live in the Puget Sound area), I heard about it on the news.

there was another hiccup around noon today -- there was a ~50 minute harmonic tremor -- new hazard zone extends up to 5 miles.  USGS field observatory (3mi distance) was evacuated

They think they are dealing with new magma!  gas readings were "Scrubbed" by heavy rains

They are putting NO geologists on the ground in the crator area


Volcanic Explositive Index:
They were expecting a 1
Now expecting a 2 (maybe 3 or 4 even)

the VEI is similiar to the richtog in being logarithmic

Scientists warn Saturday that Mount St. Helens could erupt within 24 hours, and with more force than previously expected. "There is a 50 percent chance or greater that there is going to be an eruption and a good chance that it will involve magma," said the U.S. Geological Survey's Tom Pierson. "We're watching very closely." On Friday the volcano spewed a harmless plume of steam and ash into the air but it was still the biggest eruption by the volcano in 18 years.


...We're on the home stretch...

...*grumbles*....just watch...it'll blow in the night...

Webmaster Update - October 02, 2004 at 7:30 pm PDT - The USGS issued a Level III Volcano Alert today, which included the evacuation of the Johnston Ridge Observatory. The VolcanoCam is now the closest operating camera to Mount St. Helens. It continues to function with no problem.

We captured all images of yesterday's eruption and plan to do the same for today's event. Watch for the update to the VolcanoCam web site in the next few days.


Heh.
