Global Warming/Bush’s Fault.
BOOM. What is the population of Portland and surrounding areas now.
If we have a super volcano, kiss your butt goodbye. Toba, the last one, left only 2-10,000 people alive on the whole earth....75k years ago.
Wasn’t a volcanic eruption what caused the mini-iceage about 500 years ago? Its ashes, etc. blocked out the rays of the sun for such a period of time that thousands perished becasue food growth could not be sustained? I hate to run counter to global warming crowd but even this potential volcanic explosion aside, the evidence seems, repeat seems, to be leaning toward a cooling, rather than a warming period?
WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!......again.
One more thing for the left to worry about.

Added a new one
So much to worry about...
St. Helens and the other many active and dormant volcanoes are all part of the Pacific Ring of fire, and the entire area in the Pacific Northwest is very geologically active. We also have the Cascadia fault in close proximity, and it’s an open question out here about which one will set off the other...
The real threat to the area is Mt. Ranier, because if it ever does a St. Helens, the eruption and pyroclastic flows would flush the Puget Sound like a giant toilet, and scour out everything between the volcano and the sea.
Have the Democrats figured out a way yet to tax this magma yet?
Nicholas Cage’s last movie: KNOWING... is awesome!
GOD IS STILL IN CONTROL!!!
Too bad it’s not under San Francisco!
Not to worry - it won’t happen until December 21, 2012. ;-)
This week, it's a super volcano. Next week, maybe the super tsunami will be back. Who knows about the week after that.
If that baby erupts then global warming will be the least of our problems. When Krakatoa erupted in 1856 global temperatures plunged more than a degree for a whole year. Al Gore better get a bigger heating plant for his mansion.
NPR story from November 22, 2006:
All Things ConsideredThe Strange Drumbeat of Mount St. Helens
The Strange Drumbeat of Mount St. Helens
Scientists are studying a drumming sound produced by the Mount St. Helens volcano in Washington state. For the past two years, a gigantic plug of rock has been pushed up relentlessly by magma from below, creating mini-earthquakes.
