Ben did you ever see the Documentary on the last time she Blew??? Nufin funny bout it! It was unbelievable the DUDE'S vid that was hiking on the mountain very scary! I hear what your sayin though about the dumb peeps! I guess they deserve what they get but maybe they dont care cuz they just want the thrill of it and I guess dats ok too!

 

Last time was a little different though...That came to everyone as a complete surprise and HALF the mountain practically blew itself to hell. The cloud from the explosion circumvented the entire planet. Noone saw it coming. This time around you'd think people would have a greater deal of respect for the mountain and give it some distance. I mean, they were showing scientists waiving people back urging them to leave and in the background more and more people walking up to take photos. I'm a country boy at heart and I do my fair share of climbing but when someone tells you that poisonous gasses and ash are going to fill the air in a matter hours, days, but not weeks, you stay away.

 

I saw the IMAX film last time I was in Seattle and it was amazing. The destruction was just incredible.

Segren then spent the night recalling the ash and how they got it where they lived.

 

Something else is about to blow too...





























that feels better

 

Maybe. It's not that I can't identify... I was here in Cali during the big ice storm (that hit where my parents live) and I was here in NoCal when the fires last year were 3 miles from my sons.

Mt. St. Helens it 150 Miles from Seattle.

 

Heck it's closer to Portland.

(now who's rolling eyes?)

 

Any update? I've been in the focking computer lab all day.

 

! The lava is rolling into La Crescenta. My new gazebo is in toast. Where's the National Guard. BTW, James, I like your new cats.

 

Check the other thread I started with the St. Helens Webcam. (No not "Helen's Webcam" that's on your "Favorites")
