*BELTCH* Mount St. Helens

Mount St. Helens Information Statement,
Tuesday, March 8, 2005, 6:00 P.M. PST
A small explosive event at Mount St. Helens volcano began at approximately 5:25 p.m. PST. Pilot reports indicate that the resulting steam-and-ash plume reached an altitude of about 36,000 feet above sea level within a few minutes and drifted downwind to the east-northeast. The principal event lasted about 30 minutes with intensity gradually declining throughout. The USGS Cascades Volcano Observatory lost radio signals from three monitoring stations in the crater soon after the event started. The cause of the outage wont be known until scientists can visit the crater tomorrow to assess the situation, weather permitting. The event followed a few hours of slightly increased earthquake activity that was noted but not interpreted as precursory activity. There were no other indications of an imminent change in activity.
The current hazard assessment for the ongoing eruption mentions the possibility of such events occurring without warning, and the assessment remains unchanged. The eruption could intensify suddenly or with little warning and produce explosions that cause hazardous conditions within several miles of the crater and farther downwind. Small lahars could suddenly descend the Toutle River if triggered by heavy rain or by interaction of hot rocks with snow and ice. These lahars pose a negligible hazard below the Sediment Retention Structure (SRS) but could pose a hazard along the river channel upstream.

It seems time to update our information for the Pixies that may want to be added our Pixie's Civil Defense (or Oh Fuck Are They OK) thread.

Myabe she's just celebrating the 25th anniversary of her last major eruption. I know it's now quite May yet... but to a mountain a couple months does not equal even a couple seconds.

Or, who knows, she may just be clearning her throat for a rousing chorus of, "It'll be a hot time in the ol' town tonight."
