HumanTyphoon Posted October 1, 2004 Posted October 1, 2004 Well, I didn't really expect it to happen, but Mt. St. Helens is going to erupt again, though most possibly not as bad as it did 20+years ago. Living in the Northwest in Portland, it seems kind of "adrenilinish"...The scientists say there's a 70% chance it shall erupt within the next few days to a month, but I don't know yet. Now I just have to prepare if any ash from the eruption will get swept over here. Poor car paint.... If you take a crooked path and have to go through a cliff. Either hope there is a bridge, or learn to fly.
Kicks Posted October 1, 2004 Posted October 1, 2004 I saw that on the news last night. How far from the MT are you and in which direction? What kind of safety precautions can you take? when you create the world's largest trailer park, you're going to have tornadoes
delta1 Posted October 1, 2004 Posted October 1, 2004 I was in Benge, WA the first time it errupted. Since Benge isn't on most maps, Ritzville got the credit for the largest ammount of ash dump. But Benge actually was the worst, with a couple more inches than The Ratz. Best advice I can give anyone is to stock up a little, and ride it out. An emergency generator wouldn't be a bad thing either. Get some dust masks and scoop shovels for the cleanup. Most of us put two stage air filters on the vehicles we drove, but those that didn't did not seem to have any problems. Freedom isn't free!

SaiFightsMS Posted October 1, 2004 Posted October 1, 2004 Yep it blew again. Lots of coverage on the news channels.
delta1 Posted October 1, 2004 Posted October 1, 2004 Just a burp. Could still get the big bang. Freedom isn't free!
