Fear not, the eruption today from our POV looked more like a could floating over the moutain than an eruption. I am on the south east side of the moutain and unless it blows HUGE, it will just look like a small eruption to us.

Although we did get a light, very light, dusting of ash. It has been over twenty years seens we have seen ash fall from the sky. I can remember the ash after an erutption, being so thick it was breaking branches off of trees because it stuck to the leaves like snow.

Hmmmm...It looks like you bought into the hype in this post, AT.

A few other Posts also showed you were hoping it would not blow like it did in '80, so that shows you thought there was a chance it could blow.

Also there hasn't been any activity of this sort at the mountain in quite some time. If these small eruptions were normal I am sure they would not have made it the center of news for a few days.

Oh yes, because the news media never exaggerates stories or makes things up... where oh where are my killer bees?

I didn't say they never exaggerate stories or make things up...They do that quite often. But there has been no activity of this sort, on this particular mountain, since either the late 80s or early 90s.

I did not buy into the hype. I heard about it, posted because it was interesting. From that point the NEWS made a huge deal out of it, and the those in charge felt that they had to give them something so they elevated the alert to 3. Everything from Last week to now was just to drive up revenue.
