Mount St. Helens Volcano Recharging

36 years after the deadliest blast in U.S. history.The volcano's replenished magma stores
are setting off a series of earthquakes.Beginning on March 14 2016,scientists have detected
low magnitude earthquakes from 1.2 to 4 miles beneath Mt.ST.Helen's.Most of the magnitudes
have been .5 or less.The largest so far has been magnitude 1.3.
There have not been any atypical gas emissions,increases in ground inflation or shallow seismicity.
Currently there are no signs of a potential eruption but I thought we should perhaps pay some
attention to this.

Yes i remember i was there camping across from it when it went off. I was just kid mind you but the amount of Ash covered an enormous area, the cars and the ground were covered with no less than 4 inches of dust.

There's been a lot of Volcanic activity world wide lately, makes me wonder if there's more shifting going on with the plates that we realise.

Glad that you were not injured.I have noticed that there has been a lot
of earthquakes and volcano's acting up some lately.

I was just asking about this on the earthquake thread. Someone shared a link and I got this graphic. Kind of explains it all. We have a few years before she blows, maybe.

It is good to know that there isn't any immediate threat of an eruption.
But we should always be aware there could be an eruption.My concern
is because of all the recent activity world-wide.

a reply to: mamabeth

I am concerned myself. I live in close proximity to the New Madrid Seismic Zone. Been keeping an eye on all this shaking for awhile. Glad I found a place to discuss it.

I know about that madrid fault but I don't know what areas would be
affected by a quake there.

Here is a link showing the areas that would be affected by the madrid fault.

It's kind of big.

No, that link is false.

a reply to: Onesmartdog

Like some of the articles stated that a major earthquake in the Madrid fault
could possibly split the U.S. in half.That could also be affecting the volcanoes
as well.

I happen to be a christian and a believer that we are in the "End Times".

a reply to: mamabeth

Not judging you mamabeth. I also believe alot of things are over due including Yellowstone and the San Andreas. End times? Well, I am prepared for it and I kind of steer away from the doom porn. More about actual facts, less on speculation.

a reply to: mamabeth

Wellllllll, I'm no longer in Spokane so it can't get me this time. Dark in the middle of the day was quite an experience.

We were on a Sunday drive out on skyline drive and saw off to the west what looked like a huge storm cloud coming. It was a huge cloud alright . . . but not with rain. LOL.

I'm not as concerned about Mt St Helens as I am about Mt Rainier. That will be greatly more devastating when it blows.

Ranier.....the best looking mtn. ever............somehow, it even beats Fuji....am I right?

I think we are going to have an interesting year myself. More than the normal activity of the crust.

It was the most deadliest blast? I thought something like 50-55 people died, many of whom simply refused to evacuate and eventually died due to asphyxiation of hot ash. I lived on Whidbey Island when it errupted and got yelled at by my mom for jumping on the bed. She soon realized it wasn't me at all and that it was Mt. St. Helens erupting. I do remember that we hardly got any ash at all on the island and that there was more ash that landed in Colorado than landed at our house on the island. OH I remember how dark it got.

With that said, I would think that Mt. Rainier is more of a concern than St. Helens.

a reply to: GBP/JPY

Yeah. Rainier is gorgeous . . . particularly with the clouds just right at sunset etc.

But the lahars will be devastating to Tacoma and lots in between.

a reply to: rickymouse

I think you're right.

Would you have any guess on the timing of such?

I'm speculating . . . after the Kabuki dance of a SElection in Nov.

I'd guess September to October about the time of the huricane season. That time of the year are some of the best meteor showers too.

a reply to: BO XIAN

Let's not forget Mt Baker..that one could get exciting..apparently only 2nd in activity behind Mt St. Helens.

When I hear Mt Rainier I think of those beer commercials from the 70's
