Mt. St. Helens, Dire Threat?

St. Helens shows dire signs worst is yet to surface

Mount St. Helens on Saturday sent its most ominous signals yet of a new eruption, trembling and shaking more intensely than at any time since its lethal 1980 blast.

Exactly one day after Friday's steam and ash explosion, the mountain withstood a powerful and sustained noontime tremor, coupled with brief venting of steam, the emission of a rotten-egg odor and the discovery of carbon dioxide. That, along with the development of a new crack in the crater's lava dome, led scientists to conclude for the first time since quakes kicked up recently that superhot, gaseous magma could be pushing its way to the surface.

The result, scientists said, could be an explosion that spews rocks and volcanic ash farther than previously thought, possibly within 24 hours, or around noon today[Sunday].

Since I only live 50 miles away I guess I'll have to stop talking about messages from God to Florida.
