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.

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.
