Mount St. Helens Erupts

Update: The FAA has been notified but it doesn't seem this will affect air travel since winds are fairly calm and aircraft fly well above the 1 mile high mark.

Update2: At 40 miles away I didn't feel anything rumbling, sorry but this is one of those cases where MSM has an advantage. The ash is headed my way, however so if we get ashfall here I'll photoblog the event.

Update4: This seemed to be just an initial vent of ash and steam, it is nowhere near as explosive as the 1980 eruption.

Update5: The earthquakes have stopped but now a steady trembling is occurring.

Update9: John Kerry calls it the "wrong eruption at the wrong place at the wrong time".

MOUNT ST. HELENS, Wash. - Mount St. Helens began belching a huge column of white steam Friday after days of rumblings and earthquakes that suggested the volcano that erupted with cataclysmic force in 1980 was about to blow its top again.
