Mount St. Helens Shoots Steam, Ash

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the no-red-hot-magma-just-yet dept.

Wynken de Word writes "Months after the preliminary signs starting showing, Washington State's Mount St. Helens is sending a plume of steam and ash 7,600 metres into the air as of Tuesday, 17:25 PST. See the U.S. Geological Survey site for more updates and, come daylight, check out the Mount St. Helens VolcanoCam."

    Well, some people would say steam deserves it, but shooting Ash is just wrong.

    Thanks folks, I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waiterbot.

    I live less than 50 miles from St Helens, and I heard about this on Slashdot first.

      No No No

      Global warming causes Volcanoes.

      Just like it caused the Tsunami in Indonesia, the Kennedy assasination and male pattern baldness.
