Interesting printouts. Mt. Rainer always has some fuzz on it's lines, and I would suspect that some of that is reflections from St. Helens as well. I'd be more concerned about the readings from Mt. Hood. Orting hasn't gotten concerned, and they're first to go if Rainer comes to visit (and stay).

Iirc, most of these quakes are shallow surface rumbles, and I heard some commentary indicating a theory that that all the recent rains might have gotten down inside the air spaces from recent movements, combined with the moon pull, and it will either settle down or barf it out.

Update.....Mt st helens is still going really crazy...but it seems that they are getting pretty worried about Rainer and hood at the moment from wat the news said...scientist are just wondering if Rainer and hood are responding or starting to act up...not sure

Mt St Helens is still crazy

Mt Hood is going....pretty crazy right now too

Hey

I live just 84 miles north of Seattle, in Bellingham, right under the watchful eye of Mt Baker..which i really hope erupts some day...tat would be tight!

Until you die in the pyroclastic flow.

Hi all

Those rythmic quakes shown by bmgarcangel are eruption precursors I saw an horizon documentry on predicting eruptions those are the same type of seismic activity shown in the documentry.

Kind Regards walker

Could all this activity be due to that giant fly being in the area?  biggrin_o.gif

Officials said, the fly-problem is over.

But it seems there is a new one......

Greetings

Around 1: 00 pm pacific time today, Johnston's Ridge and every single person within a wide area around the mountian has been evacuated, more then 3,000 people pushed back away from the mountian. Alert Level has been raised to three.

Bassically what happened, 12:30pm today all the earth quakes turned to extended tremors, which usaully means that the magma is rising up to the surface of the volcano. Scientists have admited that the eruption might be much larger then they had anticipated. I'll keep you up-to-date on the situation.

I liv far enough from it tat i'm not too worried, only thin i might be worried bout is ash...but they say it might have a lateral blast again...

Oh ya, i did some studying on Mt. Hood...its growing a buldge, just like Mt. St. Helens did...they're worried about that in Oregon because it takes so much presure to push one side of a mountian out....

hey all

mt st helens has erupted as some of you may already know..it has erupted again today, but only a very minor eruption. Scientist say today was too small to be the main course and that a much larger one is on the way.

So far, since Friday, the lava dome on the mountian as of today has grown 100 more feet which has stunned scientists studying the volcano....they fear that if the presure keeps building western washington could get alot of ash and possibly a major eruption, not as big as the 1980 one though, but still large...

~Bmg

I'll keep you posted.

I think the FARK headline says it all...

No, i doubt it.

The thing people don't get about the cascade and washington, western coast type volcanos....they don't have the huge lava flows like other places. Compare it like this....

Lava around the west coast has always mostly been the hard, exposed to air, old honey you got sitting in your house somewhere....it takes forever to come out.....but it drys out fast.

In other places, lava is like brand new smooth flowing honey that takes forever to dry out.

Around here its also stronger so when an eruption happens, the domes usaully hold more presure in, but when its released...we always have huge ass explosive eruptions, but no running lava....wats most likely, is a Lateral blast like what happened in 1980, when the extremely hot ash, rock, and ice came tumbling out of the mountian when it collapsed at an amazing 600 mph, flattening everything in its path for 30 miles...that only took 3 minutes just for it to do that, much more dangerous then any lava flow......

It's called pyroclastic flow and its a bitch.

It's what took out Pompeii, among others. The St. Helen's flow was gauged at around 350 degrees, but they have been measured as high as 1000+ degrees.

Scientist though refer to it most of all as a Lateral blast....thats what St. Helens. might have this time round too...

Well the St. Helen's was a little different than normal pyroclastic flow. It's normally just ash and hot gasses, not an entire side of a mountain...

You do know that mt hood is doing the same exact thing that St. Helens did in 1980...right?

Its growing a huge buldge on i think its east side right now....but scientists aren't too worried bout it yet cause its been growing for a long ass time..

I remember hearing something about it...but totally forgot about it.

Must be some tectonic action going on with St. Helen's and teh Mexico volcanos..

Or maybe its just FINALLY the end of the world!

Ya....I doubt that man...and its not affecting mexican volcanos...you forget, Mt. Hood is around 50 miles south of St. Helens...in Oregon...

The difference is that the local type of surface magma (lava) is thick pasty stuff that doesn't flow well. Yeah there's pressure, but it just spurts out here and there and crusts up.

Now on the other hand, if you drive from the cascades east past Yakima, Spokane, Northern Oregon, Southern Idaho, all the way up the Snake river valley up to the Yellowstone Caldera, it's all one big lava bed when things broke loose enough to get the good stuff under the surface scaby crusts.
