Mt. St. Helens had a fairly significant event today. A steam and ash cloud emerged from the crater and reached as high as 36,000 feet.
The link below has some very interesting footage from a helicopter that flew by the crater.

I have a shortcut to the webcam across from Mt. St. Helens. It has been off for a few days now. I wonder if the event had something to do with it. Seismic activity and webcams do not go well together...

Must be about that time again, when was the first blast... 1979 or 1980... something like that.

If I lived around there, I'de start packing to move now. Shocked

May 18, 1980. I was driving between Spokane and Pullman, Washington. It turned an hour and a half trip into a 7 hr trip. Kept finding that the police were closing the road I was on, while I was on it (I'd get to a town, go through a road block and find that the road I was coming from had been closed during the time I was on it). Ironically each time the road further south was still open (until I got all the way to the other end).
