I’ve got three baby food jars full of Mt. St Helens I collected from my front yard when I lived in Spokane - 350+ miles away from the mountain.
The sky turned dark in the middle of the afternoon. Street lights were controlled by photo-cell switches and the lights came on at 3pm. The birds and dogs fell silent then all of a sudden the only sound heard was a soft hiss as the ash began to fall.

LOL...yeah, we had her in the green room a few times already.
Did you notice that guy on youtube who is posting like their is a conspiracy going on with the UTAH geologists in not giving out the right information regarding this swarm?
I hope he’s wrong!....lol!

So. they started a couple weeks ago down abut 8 miles and now up to 0.5?
I'm on the coast of Maine - but I still remember the summer that wasn't - after Pinatubo let go in the Philippines.
And I have a lamp made from Mt.St. Helen's ash.
I'm not liking this.

Boots - that is a mighty fine memory. I’m glad I mentioned the sea shells.

I was within 10 miles of Mt. St. Helens the day before it blew. I think nearly 50 people died in the vicinity. Something 500 times as big would kill thousands at the least. This is even considering the fact that Wyoming, eastern Montana, western South Dakota and Nebraska are sparsely populated.

I’m not real knowledgeable about volcanos. I live in the northwest and got to see Mt St. Helens go but I can’t say I understand enough about vulcanism to be anything more than an onlooker. Still, when the movement rises from 10 km to 0.5 km in a few days I have to worry. Someone on here already said that the shallow movement was probably steam and I have no reason to doubt that but what made the steam move hard enough to cause an earthquake?

not not at .5 miles you need to take the average. That is were the body of magma is moving.
At the moment it has calmed.
But it is something to keep an eye on.

You suppose that ash layer is that grey layer we see in limestone cutouts on our way to work on 1431 and 360?

Yes a swarm is a series of small earthquakes that means lava is moving underground. In this case it seems to be moving closer to the surface. From 10 to 7 miles depth. I’ll be back tomorrow with some data from the Pinatubo eruption, the book “Volcano Cowboys” has a lot of detail. Also look for increased activity at times of the full and the new moon. We have just had a full moon.
To: Diver Dave
My grandmother brought back some. In the last 3 decades it’s gotten lost.

"Do you mind telling me what a swarm is?" IIRC correctly lots of little shakes in the ground due to magma movement.

"Yes, super volcano. It it were to blow, itd be devastating...and that my dear, is an understatement." Yep, if such happens the USA will have to commission a new flag cause a goodly number of states will cease to exist as far as human habitation goes.
(Too bad Washington DC is so far away from Yellowstone...)

I suppose it would be worse then a nuclear bomb. Ah well, can’t do anything about that, just pray and leave it in the hands of God.
