A bit of an eruption yesterday.
Maybe another on the way.
No predictionas of anything like 1980 though, but very cool none the less!

The last one seems like only yesterday...when I was sweating the dust cloud being sucked into the engine of my "new" car...which of course was a minor problem compared to the lives and property lost as a result of the eruption!

Mt St Helens is in Washington State although we can see it from Portland Oregon. In the 80's we got dusted but nothing like cities east of the Mtn that took months to get the ash out of everything.
Mt Hood is in Oregon and who knows maybe someday it will get restless.

Thanks for the geography refresher, Larry. I wish I could now rewrite the title of this thread to include our Washington State friends. I guess I was focused on Oregon cuz I keep hearing and reading in the press how Mt St Helens is just 50 miles away from Portland.
Anyway, hope you don't get it too bad, wherever you are! |

I have a granddaughter just recently transferred to Fr. Lewis, Wash. She and a friend are going to go as close as possible to see it tomorrow. (Not a good idea IMHO). Will try to get her to post what she observes. A young girl from West Texas, what would you expect. 24 years old, 10 feet tall and bullet proof, she thinks. Of course 40 years ago I would have done the same. lol

Jim, I hope all is well in Philly. I heard on the news that some activity was recorded in Mt. Pupik just outside of Kulpsville.
During the last eruption, there was lint everywhere! |
