Three massive solar flares have been recorded, with reports of aircraft communications and military radio in Europe being disrupted, and an expectation of a possible huge magnetic shockwave which could hit Earth on Friday the 13th of June, 2014.
Skywatchers will get a special treat as a full moon occurs on a Friday the 13th, something that hasn't happened in June since 1919, according to universetoday.com.
Known as both the 'Strawberry" moon as well as the "Honey" moon, the actual full moon will occur very early Friday morning, but will still be nearly full when it rises in the east Friday evening. The Baltimore Sun reports that the "strawberry" name comes from the fact that it's strawberry season, and Algonquin Native American tribes knew this was the time of year to gather them, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.
Tecumseh’s Comet and the Battle of Tippecanoe The earthquakes were preceded by the appearance of a great comet, which was visible around the globe for seventeen months, and was at its brightest during the earthquakes. The comet, with an orbit of 3,065 years, was last seen during the time of Ramses II in Egypt. In 1811-1812, it was called “Tecumseh’s Comet” (or “Napoleon’s Comet” in Europe).

Mt. St. Helens, is unique, as they are able to look at the rocks, do measurements and tell when the volcano is going to erupt. It is persice measurements and with the data, they can do such accurately.
It is via the gas readings and the percentage of the different gasses that is emitted. So there is a good chance that if they notice the same kind of build up, they will let every one know and be able to pinpoint the general date of said eruption. So far, from what I have read, it is quiet, but still active.
But that is another point, if you live on a fault line or close to a volcano, one would think that being prepared for a large earthquake or eruption would be the order of the day, and living there.
