SEATTLE - There's a whole lotta shakin' going on at Mount St. Helens these days as the restless peak does what it has done for thousands of years: build new lava domes that totter and fall and become the foundations for still more new ones.

A series of unusually strong earthquakes — exceeding magnitude 3 — has been reported in recent days by the Cascades Volcano Laboratory in Vancouver, Wash., about 50 miles south of the mountain. The latest was a magnitude 3.1 quake early Thursday that was accompanied by a rockfall.

Clearly Bush has placed devices in the mountain to cause this so as to distract from Rove, Roberts, Iraq, MIHOP, LIHOP, BFEE, Bolton, and Patriot Act reauthorization.

This man is truly EVIL!

There is no image right now, or it's really cloudy, I'm not sure, but you can view Mount St. Helens online here http://www.fs.fed.us/gpnf/volcanocams/msh/

I was there a couple of months ago, but the viewing wasn't much better. I did see the web cam which I thought was interesting, given I short cut to it in my browser.

its raining here in western WA. Nice, its been to sunny these last few days, and hot.

[Deguello]

It's just the BOP (blow-out preventer) increasing its mass.

If you had to stomach all those liberal leftist demoncRATS on the west side like Mt. St. Helens, you'd too have constant indigestion and unrelieved constipation 24/7.

My fault, I bought a convertible and installed air conditioning in my house. It should snow by next week.

[Overtaxed]

Should I check the volcano cam at night and see if I can see lava through the cracks?

[Mike Darancette]

Those long period quakes >= Mag 3 are unsettling.
