I grew up in the Seattle area, but I was in LA during the 1980 eruption, so this is the first time experience for me too. The good news for me, so far, is that the wind is blowing the ash cloud to the west, so it's going away from me. (for now)

I live in The Dalles and I'll be keeping an eye out to the west to see the cloud appearing above the horizon. It's a beautiful clear day so it should be easy to spot once it gets high enough.

Blowing West, that nice. Unless, of course, you happen to live in Idaho. Blow North old wind, blow North. ;)

That is very cool!
They just showed cooling magma and water running down from the melted glacier.
GLOBAL WARMING ALERT! VOLCANO MELTING GLACIER! WE'RE ALL DOOMED! (sarcasm for the humor impaired)

I'm coming to Gresham, Oregon, in a couple of weeks on business. Is Gresham near MSH?
