Non-Political Eruptions

It seems that Mount St. Helens is considering erupting again.

For pictures of the event when it happens, click here -- at least for as long as the webcam survives. :)

Time difference Heather, just went it's 5 in the morning there and after looking at the different pictures I conclude that it's still night there. Sunrise is at 6:30 (give or take a few minutes) I won't be in then. Must remember to look when I get in from work.

me, too. So far, every time I've gone to look at the volcanocam, its been at a time when it was Night there.
I've got it bookmarked now, though, and I'll try to remember to look at it when i get in from work.

So far I just see a blank, and the sun's been up for about an hour here (I'm now living in the Seattle area, so Mount St. Helens and I share the sunrise time).

Slightly better now. When I first posted, it was literally interference -- no picture, just video noise. Now there's a lot of smoke, but I can see a bare outline of mountain. 11:09 EDT, 8:09 local.

It's cloudy and gray, but if you look closely (right now), you can see Mt. St. Helens in outline in the distance.

You get video noise on the connection at night, because there's not enough light for the webcam to operate.

OK, 4:30 ish my time, cool, a picture. I really hope it doesn't blow, that would be bad for all the people living there. there is a tiny part of me that's thinking "It wold be SO COOL, to be on line and watching if it did blow" In the spring I watch Falcons, now I'm watching a volcano, ain't technology a wonder!
