7. Skooooo,

Are you near Edwall?? I lived in Clark county Washington from 1942 to 1956. Used to ride horseback thru the St Helens area. A relative of our was going to try to open the Red Barn Cafe in Edwall last month. Haven't heard if they got it done.

12. What do Kerry and Mt St Helens have in common?

They both have fire in their belly. That's why Kerry is going to win.

Kerry wants to really really help America...Bush just wants to beat Daddy.

9. Well, if it does erupt...

...it shouldn't be as bad as last time, because it hasn't been building as long.

(Fingers crossed anyway.)

10. Ok, between this and all the hurricanes ...

... and a couple mild earthquakes across the country over summer ...

will anyone finally get the message that Mother Nature is really, really pissed at the GOP stewardship over the past 4 years ?

:evilgrin:

13. aawwwh crap....

that fucking ash gets everywhere it's impossible to clean, if it gets in your car motor it's fried, it kills very green thing it gets on.....SHIT.

15. i lived at the base of helen

when she popped. check it out. the emergency broadcast system was no where to be found. insanity. for 30 day prior you could feel and hear the vibrations. it was actually awesome. mother earth is pissed off right now

[burrowowl]

21. However after a few years

where the ash lands is very fertile. That's why people near Etna, the volvano in Costa Rica, still keep farming there.

[cliss]

16. Uh-oh....just as I was feeling safe and secure

here in Portland, Oregon. We've been watching the Torment of the Tornadoes from a distance. It's sad, but it just doesn't affect you like your roof was about to blow.

Now this. Thanks for the info, rs.

17. I live in Central Oregon now

But was living in Salem when St. Helens blew on 5/18/80--two days before my daughter's 10th birthday. She's 34 now and her oldest boy is 10--her age when the "big one" happened. Yikes! You don't think...nah! Couldn't be! Anyway, I clearly recall the ash that piled up in Salem following the 2nd eruption on May 25th. Still have a vial of it from our front yard as a "souvenir" of the Big Blow. I'd feel safer over here, but there's a bulge on one of the Sisters, so maybe I'd better not get too smug. I do have a healthy respect for Mother Nature and her ability to keep us all humble!

Hang in there and remember: BUSH MUST GO!!

18. If it does anything we'll be able to see it

The Mount St. Helens VolcanoCam is going back online this week.

19. I was in Montana when Mt. St. Helen's blew in 1980

That was an amazing event, even from several hundred miles away. When the ash came through the place I was at that night (near the Canadian border) you could hardly see your hand in front of your face. Of course we had spent most of the night in a little roadside bar (we had a motel), so that may have impaired the vision a bit too...

[HuckleB]

20. Relax.

If anything happens, it's more likely to be magma building on the dome than anything resembling 1980.

It's all part of the process. There are quakes like this on nearly every large mountain in the Cascades every year.
