Seismic activity at Mount St. Helens has changed significantly during the past 24 hours and the changes make us believe that there is an increased likelihood of a hazardous event

This is starting to look very serious.

Volcanic eruptions, for the record, are NOT my fault.
Just wanted to have that out there before I get blamed for it.
/ joke

Okers, end joke now, This can be serious or it can be nothing, but check with those you know to be near that nasty mountain with an attitutde, I don't want to hear about anyone being hurt by it.

I had heard that experts had thought (up until recently) the next Cascade mountain to blow would be Mt Ranier, the "next door neighbor" to Mt St Helens.

Should it not be banned in the heavenlies for a sainted mountain to explode?

If it is going to blow, then we should be seeing an increase in UFO activity in the area.

You can SEE St. Helens at the Mount St. Helens VolcanoCam site here. Or cut and paste the link: http://www.fs.fed.us/gpnf/volcanocams/msh/

Pic updates once every five minutes. What is really interesting is that this site has been DOWN for a couple of years and was rushed back online about the same time as that swarm of quakes started up!

Someone expecting something perhaps?!?!?!

As I understand it, Ranier and St. Helens share a common caldera; hence activity at St. Helens may well provide some relief for Ranier. Having lived for a decade in the Seattle area, I can tell you that a Ranier blow would constitute a truly cataclysmic event (worse than Bush winning in '04).

At least they're more or less prepared at St. Helens. After the last blow the cities downwind (Yakima, Richland/Pasco/Kennewick, etc) were buried in a horrible, gritty ash that choked automobile engines and turned the sky night-dark. Pantyhose and cheesecloth around the air filters kept some people going for awhile but the gunk had to be cleaned out at frequent intervals.

Good luck to all there. You got a bunk if you live to reach Idaho...
