Mount St. Helens is gonna blow!

Same for me, but then told me the media couldn't be opened.
 
They said on the radio that the small, shallow earthquakes have stopped, and have been replaced by a steady, deep rumbling, which is a sign that lava is on it's way to the surface. People are being evacuated, and they expect it to blow today.

I've learned something today. Volcanos are like a good shit... it just takes a while, but when it gets there, the results clear the whole area.
 
Holy shit, it blew!

Hehe, almost as good as the Giant mutant fly that was attacking the mountain!

It's actually quited down in the last few hours...

24 hours ago it was still totally saturating the readouts. And that's the HSR station farther away on the south side of the mountain. The SEP station on the lava dome itself was destroyed in the first steam event.

12 hours later it's calmed down quite a bit. Maybe another steam event calmed it down again temporarily?
 
Update: She's been extruding lava since yesterday... The volcanocam caught a flame in mid-leap. :) It's probably passed by now, it updates every 10 minutes. Still cool though.
