Toni Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 There's been so much activity there in recent months! I remember when it blew in 1980-what a surreal time. I just realized we're coming up on the anniversary! Quote Toni

The slab’s height is that of a football field’s width, said KGW meteorologist Bruce Sussman, who flew over Mt. Saint Helens in Sky-8 during clear weather Wednesday. “Parts of it are growing up and to the west at six feet a day… and hot spots are 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit,” he said. The topmost portion of the formation is already cracking, which geologists describe as typical. As new formation grow taller and heavier, chunks of rock fall into the crater floor, helping to build it up. The climbing season at Mount St. Helens traditionally begins on May 15. Tom Pierson, a local U.S. Geological Survey geologist, tentatively plans to lead a guided hike arranged through the nonprofit Mount St. Helens Institute to the rim in August. "It will be great to see the new view and to take pictures to compare," Pierson said Quote <p><span style="color:#0000FF;"><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-style:italic;">"Do not use harmful words, but only helpful words, the kind that build up and provide what is needed, so that what you say will do good to those who hear you."</span></span> Eph 4:29</span><br><br><img src="http://banners.wunderground.com/weathersticker/gizmotimetemp_both/US/OR/Fairview.gif" alt="Fairview.gif"> Fairview Or</p>
