Mount St. Helens Lets Off Some Steam

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the look-out-below dept.

jdray writes "The cube farm is all a twitter right now, as Mt. St. Helens is spewing out a steam plume, and you can see if from our building. The cam for the volcano seems to be down, but we just saw a news helicopter from KATU, one of our local news stations, headed that direction. They should have some content up shortly." Other readers suggest: KOIN, KOIN webcams, Kiro TV, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, or CNN.

    From the Post-Intelligencer:
    Small earthquakes had been occurring continuously in the crater since Sept. 23. They grew steadily stronger, finally reaching a magnitude of 3.3 Thursday and Friday, but the earthquakes quit after the eruption, said University of Washington seismologist Tony Qamar.

    "That makes us think this is the end of the eruption," Qamar said. "All this buildup was leading to that relatively small eruption."
