While checking the seismographs tonight for the region, it is becoming apparent that Mt. Rainier is also awakening along with Mt St Helens. At first, I had hoped that the seismographs at Mt Rainier were merely picking up the earth movement from St Helens, but the tremors do not correlate.
By checking the charts for St Helens back on the 25th of the month - when the current event began - the buildup is easily seen. There are occasional quakes that are of noticeable strength, while the others are extremely small. Moving forward from the 25th, you can see the intensity grow, as well as the frequency shorten. Well, the same scenario is playing itself out right now under Mt Rainier, especially the Longmire station.
Posted below are the charts showing this growth at St Helens, along with the more current ones from Mt Rainier. If Mt Rainier's activity increases in a manner similar to Mt St Helens, this will be an interesting time indeed for all of this region......
Here is Mt St Helens from the 25th:
And here is St Helens again, from the morning of the 26th:
This is Mt St Helens right now. Constant earth movement......
Alert status for Mt St Helens is now at "3". Now for Mt Rainier. Here's the chart for Rainier from yesterday morning/afternoon:
And this is the current chart for Mt Rainier:
As you can see, the earth is starting to move under this volcano as well. The duration of the quakes under Mt Rainier is longer, and the frequency is longer than at Mt St Helens, but there is obviously something going on here as well. I really want this one to go back to sleep.
In the long run, yeah, we all are.
This page has links to all of the various volcanoes graphs over the past week. Check how they were all silent until the past day... yikes!
Wow. That activity is very striking.
That's even clear to me.
I used to live very close to Mt. Baker (years ago and only for a year)
I'm glad I'm in Texas. Yikes is right!
Not good, Mt. Helen's, Mt. Rainier, Yellowstone, and northern Cal. all showing signs of tummy trouble.
King 5 said tonight that the quakes measured on Rainier were from St. Helens. I haven't compared the charts yet.
Are you a DU newbie troll? Shaddup!
I ENORMOUSLY RESPECT AND APPRECIATE YOU.
YOU ARE DOING A WONDERFUL JOB.
I hope you are not at hazard from Ranier. I forget where you live.
God's best safety and provision for you and family.
Blessings,
Right, the neighboring seismograph stations are picking up the activity at Mt. St. Helens. I put this on another thread also, here it is again for ash cloud tracking satellite views, inlcuding infrared. That might be useful if it happens at night.

I'm fairly convinced that your hope about Ranier will not end up true.
Literally, all hell is going to break loose all around the planet in our lifetime.
The evidence has been building overwhelmingly for decades.
The fact that many don't see it is 0.000% comfort to me.
Thankfully, God is the GOD OF ALL COMFORT as the book title says.
Cheers.
What's the site of the successful quake predictors via scientific equation--what's that guy and staff saying?
I don't remember his name.
Comparing the charts since midnight from Longmire and June Lake show alot of similarity, even though the charts on Rainier (Longmire) show a lot higher amplitude.
It could just be a calibration thing.
I live 40 miles from Rainier and if anything was happening there, I'd felt or seen something by now.
I don't really care about datura's credentials.
He/she is plenty logical, observant and alert for my reading their observations and comments.
The webicorder seismograph on this thread does not look good. I have been monitoring Dome Station, inside the crater at the lava dome, since I found it online Monday. It has never looked this bad. Im no expert, but look how wide the green is now. it was never like that before.
OK.
Looking at the charts again I will say this. The activity on Rainier is from St. Helens
The charts from June lake are showing (correctly) a much higher amplitude.
In all my years of watching USGS and Pacific seismograph network stuff, I have NEVER seen this kind of activity.
I never thought I'd say it, but it's a little scary.
This is probably a really dumb question, but the colored lines, are they just to seperate what goes on in each time frame so that doesn't all blue together or do they mean something else?
I think I get . . . weary . . .
of undue adulation of EXPERTS.
Even quality experts are often sooooo locked into their tunnel vision that they miss significant changes or evidence 'outside the box' in their field of expertise.
It often takes people with a different perspective to see significant factors in a key new light.
