Instruments on St. Helens cease transmitting

KING-5

[djf]

KING 5 news is reporting that the instruments on Mt. St. Helens have ceased transmitting data. They say it could be due to a steam eruption, or a rock slide, some kind of major event. Indications are that right before they stopped, the lava dome was growing at a very rapid pace.

gee, why do you always have to spoil the speculation? :)

False alarm? Too bad. If she blew it just might be all we needed to tip the balance and then the glaciers would have scraped all the DUmmies from the northeast into the Atlantic we would all be RED STATES!!! Except Cali, but they would come around.

since BQ hasn't been around, he's been out of control.

You can say THAT again!

We must investigate Cheney's connections now.

Thamks for the clarification..but then the story is very misleading..seismographs ARE instruments, arewn't they..and one would assume that's what would be found on/near a volcano?

Years ago, an acquaintance of mine from Stanford was relieved at his observation station the night before Helen exploded. When he flew back in to look for his mentor, all he saw were pine trees turned into match sticks.

If that lady looks like she's going to dance, get out of the ballroom.

You will be leaving your undisclosed location in time for the Ball, won't you Tbm?

I think this was in the X-files one season.

Now let's see... was that 2 AA both in the same way or was I supposed to put one in one way and one in the other way?

See my post above yours; great minds obviously think alike!

Most of the PNSN seismographs aren't in the crater of Mount Saint Helens.

But even the ones within the crater, including New Dome, seem to be working fine. Looking back at the records New Dome was out for a while Sunday morning, as the article indicates.

Never fear! Old screen name, new screen name, I get my replies still (just as JimRob told me I would).

Thanks. :^)

Great line, a keeper!
I'm about 60 airmiles to the north. During the '80s sequences, we never once got any ash here. It all goes towards the south, or towards the northeast, Yakima way.

This is Bush's fault.

Oh crap, would you get over that already?

Bush this, Bush that.

Anybody that is "in touch" knows that the company Halliburton - of which VICE PRES DICK CHENEY WAS FORMER VICE PRES - has long been rumored to have a secret base within Mt St Helens.

Repeat after me.....Halliburton.....Halliburton....
