St. Helens is Disturbing the Locals Again

MOUNT ST. HELENS NATIONAL MONUMENT, Wash. - Mount St. Helens blew another cloud of steam skyward Thursday shortly after scientists said its crater floor had risen 50 to 100 feet since Tuesday, indicating that molten magma was moving upward without encountering much resistance.

A news helicopter hovering over the crater captured the latest venting, which sent gray and white clouds of steam billowing upward beginning about noon (3 p.m. ET).

I lived in the area when she first blew, it was dramatic!

Let me know what you think leave me a comment:
