yeah ive been watching it. Yesterday they said that it would go either in the next couple of hours or last night - so i think that this might be a duffer, and the old gal is just letting off steam, but then, i am usually wrong when it comes to predicting natural disasters.

It's because they can't actually predict when it'll blow.

My sister said she was gonna go take pics of it, we'll see if she actually does or not. When she first moved out there, she freaked out over a very minor earthquake.

^^ I was in California last week and felt the 6.0 quake ... the building shook quite gently in San Jose.

Ive been reading up on that. They said that it has a 70% chance of erupting and 30% chance of just stopping all together.

Drugs are a illegal, but ATM's are open 24hrs. Have you ever taken out $300 at 4am for something positive?"
This is completely off-topic... but I had to comment this!

ONCE... in a middle of a party, I knew a guy that had 2 bucket seats just the model I was searching for.... so I went to an ATM at aproximately 4am, got 300Euros and bought them!!

See... it was something positive!!

And for the Vulcano.. probably it's just dropping a few gases... never happened to you??

My family lives about 80 miles north of st. helens in Renton. They've been keeping me posted on it. Apparently the news up there is beating the living hell out of it so when she does finally belch, no one is going to care except for the people in eastern washington who are going to all have to get new paint jobs after the ash eats their cars paint down to the primer

whether or not it will be as big as the one in '80, who knows. I think the one that everyone is going to be worried about is if Mt. Rainier decides to say fuck off.
It's been dormant way too long so if anything starts happening on that summit, it going to be chaos in the PNW :shock:

My Aunt lives very close to it in Vancouver Washington and she said they are just waiting for it to happen they aren't that worried about it since all she will get is about 6 inches of Ash if ti gets extremely bad but she did drive past it the other day close enough to die if it blew. Everytime I fly to Washington they fly right around the Volcano so that you can see it and it's really amazing.

you know I'm not quite sure, the first time she told me she was moving to Vancouver I thought she meant BC but I was wrong. She moves to large cities most of the time for her company EDS like Chicago, Manhatten among others.

I just hope it doesn't blow like it did the last time, that was insane.
