[quote:WaistBandWiener:MV8yMzkxMDE5XzU2NjEyMzE2X0ZBRTBCMjFD] [quote:-Haun-:MV8yMzkxMDE5XzU2NjEyMjU3X0U4NDkyREI5] [quote:CuriousSeeker:MV8yMzkxMDE5XzU2NjEwOTM0XzgxNDZGQ0VG] Mt. St. Helens to erupt soon? [color=darkblue]On May 18, 1980, a major volcanic eruption occurred at Mount St. Helens, a volcano located in the state of Washington, United States. The eruption (a VEI 5 event) was the only significant volcanic eruption to occur in the contiguous 48 U.S. states since the 1915 eruption of Lassen Peak in California.[1] The eruption was preceded by a [b]two-month series of earthquakes[/b] and steam-venting episodes, caused by an injection of magma at shallow depth below the volcano that created a huge bulge and a fracture system on the mountain's north slope.[/color] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980_eruption_of_Mount_St._Helens Although there are [b]no signs of an imminent eruption[/b], the volcano [b]is recharging[/b], scientists say. Mount St. Helens is in Washington state, 95 miles south of Seattle and about 55 miles northeast of Portland, OR. The earthquakes have been measured at a magnitude of 0.5 or less and the largest was at 1.3. They've been measured about 1.2 to four miles underneath the surface. With such small magnitudes and such depths, you wouldn't be able to feel the earthquakes on the surface. But it's [b]not the magnitude[/b] that has gotten scientists attention -- [b]it's the frequency[/b]. http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/07/us/mount-st-helens-mini-earthquakes/index.html Come on...Mt. St. Helens is about to erupt again. Can we say 5/18/2016 anyone? Give or take a few days? [/quote] I agree, and I think its extremely important to keep a tight watch over her. Something obviously is happening but the question for me is its impact on the fragile zones around her. I have no idea what their emergency systems are like or if there have been any alerts, but I'm hoping those that might be possibly affected by an eruption know this and are preparing. [/quote] Ive been checking it almost everyday ^_^, but others started posting on it, so it gave me a break lol. EDIT: spoke too soon, its back up lol. Definitely looks a lot more scribbley than usual....Something is obviously happening up there, boom booom boom https://pnsn.org/seismogram/current/sep [/quote]

I accidentally deleted the OP of this thread during some glitch issues on GLP this morning (10/30/17).
I will be posting some useful links in the next post to make it easier for those posting so you don't have to scroll through a massive OP. :)
I had to delete the first two comments on this thread to do so, but wanted to keep them so I've put them below.
5* and I'm on board.. Simple.. I'm sorry about CH.. He will be missed greatly..
but, the continuation of EQ is an important thing because it's connected to so many things..
Thank you!!! Simple... I will be here.....

I also would like to mention that I know this thread has MANY pages and that it can be somewhat intimidating to join/chime in on a long standing thread as a new member/AC (I've experienced it when I first joined GLP), but we are a VERY welcoming group to those who newly join us. We are a small family of sorts who are all mostly interested in the same earth-related topics (quakes/solar/volcanoes/weather/etc.) and share info on each of those topics as well as 'off-topic' discussions. We genuinely care for one another here and even when we do not agree with each other, we ALWAYS respect each other.
I truly enjoy when new folks join us here. All that I ask is to show respect. :)
