mount st. famewhore
Ever since Mount St. Helens started rumbling in earnest again last year, one fact has particularly delighted our local television news reporters: the most impressive steam & ash shows seem to occur only during daylight hours on clear, sunny days. Apparently, the mountain craves attention. It is the reality show contestant of the Cascade range.
Last night, the mountain's timing was impeccable. Around 5:25 p.m., there was a small earthquake followed by an eruption that reached over 30,000 feet into the sky. The setting sun provided some wonderfully dramatic lighting for an already impressive scene. It was kind of cool. (I say that only knowing that no death &/or destruction ensued.)
Ah, the Pacific Northwest! Come for the rain, stay for the volcanoes.

So that's what I saw on the news (with the sound off). I thought it was some nuclear test in Pakistan or something. Do you have a volcano emergency kit? Dust masks, portable CD player, bottle of whiskey?
