mt. st. helens' magma levels rising

[shart_attack]

The AP—Magma levels are slowly rebuilding inside Mount St. Helens, a volcano in Washington state that erupted in 1980 and killed 57 people, although there was no sign of an impending eruption, U.S. scientists said.

The roughly 8,300-foot volcano erupted in an explosion of hot ash and gas on May 18, 1980, spewing debris over some 230 square miles and causing more than a billion dollars in property damage. Entire forests were crushed and river systems altered in the blast, which began with a 5.2 magnitude earthquake.

"The magma reservoir beneath Mount St. Helens has been slowly re-pressurizing since 2008," the U.S. Geological Survey said in a statement on Wednesday. "It is likely that re-pressurization is caused by (the) arrival of a small amount of additional magma 4 to 8 km (2.5 to 5 miles) beneath the surface."

The USGS said this is to be expected with an active volcano and does not indicate "the volcano is likely to erupt anytime soon."

The USGS, and the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network at University of Washington, closely monitor ground deformation and seismicity at the volcano. This summer, they will also measure its released gases and gravity field, measurements that can be used to monitor subsurface magma and forecast eruptions.

I left the "a" out of "Marxist" but not something you'd have noticed.

T'would not be proper to expect one who failed ESL to understand The Queen's English so I shall refrain from criticizing further.

There you go again.

Calling upon strangers.

Old is a relative thing. One of my favourite recollections is that of watching the man they called "Jesus Christ" carrying a picket sign whilst on strike for The Carpenters Union.

Yet I cannot recall when dirt was invented - only the day the (long expired) patent was issued.

I believe the man was stone cold sober at the time but, who knows, when we're talking about union members. Perhaps it's easier to cope with the dues and micro-managed political beliefs after consumption of a judicious quantity of wine rather than the usual union Kool-Aid?

Besides, it was alleged that Christ was a celibate so your statement is offensive, worthy of negging by any Christians among us. Being non-such I shall personally refrain. Just now.
