MOUNT ST. HELENS, Wash. -- Scientists said the earthquakes and explosions at Mount St. Helens could lead to an eruption as powerful as the one in 1980, KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reported.
The volcano reportedly spewed more steam overnight, but earthquakes continued to be fairly light, striking about once a minute and registering about magnitude one.
Meanwhile, the speculation continued about what exactly is happening underneath the mountain.
Scientists said part of the lava dome in the volcano's crater has risen 50 to 100 feet since Tuesday, a sign -- along with mild earthquake activity -- that molten rock may be moving toward the surface without much resistance.
The south side of the dome has been rising for the past week -- about 250 feet so far.

Wait, didn't they just reduce the threat level? I'm so confused!!! :)
I am disgusted. Go Kerry!
Holy Buckets...who's running the show over there....the Kerry People?????
It is a threat. Its not a threat. It is a threat. Its not a threat.
These people must be democrats....or just trying to get into the campaign spirit!
Is this an event where the experts can't predict a reasonable time frame for occurrence?
If I lived anywhere nearby - I'd get out of Dodge - the predictions are only predictions - the force of nature is incredible.
flip flop flip flop flip flop
They haven't been right about this thing yet. But saying "I don't know" doesn't exactly help them get government funds.

The volcano cam doesn't help much. Kinda wet out there.
It's in front of their noses, and yet, they don't know, they speculate, but axe them about evolution...
I believe they mean a large eruption, not that the mountain is going to be blown to bits
Why not, they blamed him for hurricanes.
They must go to the same school as weather forecasters
The reason for this potential catastrophe is clear: George Bush is President! John Kerry and John Edwards have a plan to make sure volcanoes won't erupt ever again in this country!
"President Bush and Karl Rove are unbelievable. Causing such a volcanic eruption just to show the President in a positive light consoling the victims and handing out government aid.
I am disgusted. Go Kerry!"
Dear PhantomLord,
Thanks for your loyal support. After all the hurricanes Bush caused in Florida, it's amazing more people haven't caught on to his evil powers over the forces of nature.
Sincerely,

the mountain is pretty much gone anyway ... i climbed it in May, it was amazing to see half a mountain simply GONE
