Earthquake shakes Mount St. Helens
| quote: |
A 3.1-magnitude earthquake shook the crater at Mount St. Helens on Saturday, the strongest quake at the volcano since mid-October.
U.S. Geological Survey scientists said they did not believe a major eruption was imminent -- just a continuation of the minor ash and steam eruptions that have been occurring since the mountain reawakened this fall. |
This story describes the new 750ft "dome" that has been created from fresh lava over the last month - I hadn't read this elsewhere - pretty interesting, but also kind of scary to think of such active vulcanism so close to populated regions.
Smile; It confuses people.  |
