I've been watching this web-cam for the past while. I saw all of the steam yesterday morning, but I had no idea until I read an article about it today that it was the result of a new lava dome forming.

It is such a pretty sight. I got a series of sunrise ones a couple of days ago with the light slowly creeping down the flanks and the steam-column wafting and blowing

Every time I look at Mount St. Helens or hear about it all I can think of it 'what if this had been Mount Hood or Mount Rainier'. We keep getting these wake up calls and yet we just don't seem to get the message. If the state is as prepared for one of those mountains to come to life as Florida was for the hurricanes this year there is going to be a lose of life like this country has never seen before.

Damn that was negatively worded. Well I guess a sleep starved brain will do that.

Background Music: Also Sprach Zarathustra... :-> Thanks! I usually get on after sunset, which pretty much limits what I see on the webcam.

Of course I did get on during the day awhile back - alas, the fog had rolled in with a vengeance.
