Cascades - Disturbing Activity at St Helens & Rainier!!

Well, that really freaky stuff on 3 sisters abruptly stopped today, but there was some event approximately 30 minutes ago (approx. 22:25 UTC) that is recorded on almost every webicorder in the Cascades. I see nothing that correlates timewise on the USGS quake page.

Mt. St. Helens Dome Station webicorder has shown some bizarre activity in the past twelve hours:

And it coincides with the same bizarre activity on Rattlesnake Mt.

There is probably still nothing to worry about on this, right?

Here's some more activity for ya'.

I live up here btw Ranier and Yellowstone, so I'm just a little worried.

Is there any truth to the reports that the Indians in the area are moving out? And that animals are migrating away from the Culderra area?
If this is true, I would agree that it is a significant sign of something coming soon with respect to eruption or serious earthquakes in the area.
Anyone have any good sources of info on this?

Thanks.

Peace,

"When Yellowstone does blow, some geologists predict that every living thing within six hundred miles is likely to die."

Recent Eruptions, 200 Degree Ground Temperatures, Bulging Magma And 84 Degree Water Temperatures Prompt Heightened Scrutiny Of Park's Geothermal Activity

There was no choice but to close off the entire area. Everything in this area is dying: The trees, flowers, grass and shrubs. A dead zone is developing and spreading outward. The animals are literally migrating out of the park

there is more in this thread on this too.

Thanks baked. I appreciate the links.

Atleast I don't live in Seattle.

if yellowstone goes, then be glad that you live near it, people like me in the UK will have to try live thru the nuclear winter etc........

thats if we even live long enough to see the nuclear winter......

ive noticed there is no actual scale to the size of the earthquakes on those seismographs, how large earthquakes are we looking at? and what could cause the almost constant earthquake/movement for 12 hours?!??!

as shown here
www.ess.washington.edu...

alot of pressure could be the cause of this, only question is where is this pressure from and where is it going?

i read somewhere not to sure where that, one of the mountains cant remember which is swelling like mt st helens did.........

Hello!?! Will somebody please respond to this.

There are webicorders in the Cascades that are just flat going ape-#.

I have completely renamed this thread in hopes some one will pay attention to me...in particular, astrocreep, kukla, and anybody else that has even a smidgeon of knowledge in this area.

Please review the past week of webicorders in the Cascades...

www.ess.washington.edu...

Pay special attention to Mt. Baker, which is just absolutely gone freakazoid, and the Dome Station and South Ridge station on St. Helens.

If we look only at the past week (and I've been harping for a month now) we see the following three types of seismic indications:

1. HF earthquakes - high frequency earthquakes, regular old earthquakes caused by brittle fracture, fault slip, etc.

2. Spasmodic bursts or rapidfire bursts - basically high frequency earthquakes that overlap each other - I quote from USGS "rarely, if ever, occur in purely tectonic regimes" and "consistent with hydraulic fracturing of previously unbroken rock".

3. LP and VLP earthquakes - long-period and very long-period earthquakes - caused by fluid-dynamic processes (i.e. magmatic encroachment - volcanic earthquakes)

4. Harmonic tremors - basically overlapping long-period earthquakes - I quote from USGS again: "HARMONIC TREMOR ACCOMPANIES NEARLY ALL VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS AND COMMONLY PRECEDES THE ONSET OF ERUPTIVE ACTIVITY BY HOURS TO DAYS." You CAN have harmonic tremors WITHOUT an eruption...but you typically don't have an eruption without harmonic tremors.

Okay, so we have ALL of the above happening.

HELLO! HELLO! Anybody out there? Can you hear me now?

P.S. AFTER A WEEK OF BIZARRE RECORDINGS ON MT. ST. HELENS' - THE SOUTH RIDGE WEBICORDER IS COMPLETELY OFFLINE AT THIS TIME.

Look at Mt. Hood and 3 sisters right now:

I have no knowlege in this area, but I'm glad there's somebody keeping an eye on this, natural disasters are (at least to me) far more scary than any terrorist ever could be.

Many thanks.

Thank you, Zzub, for paying attention. I am by no means an expert in this area, just an amateur with a lot of interest.

I sure hope one of our more seismically-knowledgable members will review this and respond.

Val,

Those are some strange readings coming out of Mt. Baker. While the amplitude isn't that large,
it seems to be well sustained. Most likely this behavior is causing the "grab bag" of behavior on
St. Helens. If St. Helens was approaching a seismic event we'd see more sustained, large amplitude
movement. I'm thinking that the SEATAC area is building towards some sort of release, which is certainly
overdue for a good 6.0 or greater.

I would also agree that we are seeing the 4 types of quakes you've outlined. I certainly see
some harmonic activity on St. Helens, not large in amplitude but definitely harmonic. Which in itself is not
good but is probably not the result of seismic activity in the vicinity of St. Helens but elsewhere.

Thanks for keeping an eye on it!

And thank you for responding!

I have been VERY VERY concerned about Mt. Baker for awhile now. It is acting WAY bizarre.
