| St Helens Eruption Could Be As Big As May 1980 |
| 2004-10-08 |
| Scientists said the earthquakes and explosions at Mount St. Helens could lead to an eruption as powerful as the one in 1980, KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reported. Aha! another plan to suppress the Democrat's vote. Portland coated by ash. Low turnout. Conspiracy. Maybe Bush has been doing prayer in an improper way. - Terry Mc Auliffe The volcano reportedly spewed more steam overnight, but earthquakes continued to be fairly light, striking about once a minute and registering about magnitude one. Meanwhile, the speculation continued about what exactly is happening underneath the mountain. Ecological rape by the GOP! - Terry McAuliffe Scientists said part of the lava dome in the volcano's crater has risen 50 to 100 feet since Tuesday, a sign -- along with mild earthquake activity -- that molten rock may be moving toward the surface without much resistance. The south side of the dome has been rising for the past week -- about 250 feet so far. Despite the swelling, scientists said there is no reason yet to raise the alert level around the volcano in southwest Washington. I don't like George Bush because he's going to get Democrats killed. - Terry McAuliffe Larry Mastin, of the U.S. Gological Survey said there's an outside chance that an eruption could send a plume of ash 15 miles into the air or higher, but there is no indication that any eruption is imminent or that it would threaten lives or property. There's also no way to tell when molten rock might reach the surface, although the volcano has been venting steam as water trickles down and hits hot rocks. Blame Dick Cheney & Halliburton - Terry McAuliffe |

| #5 You OK, AP? You were kind of channeling Muckey in that last sentence. Either that, or the alcohol just kicked in. |

| #4 Well, if we are dealing with magma, then that eliminates granite, and that means that this affair is not a plutonic relationship. I say that this Mt. St. Helensgate scandal could be as big as the one in '80! Ima not flyn me b1rd arnd the crater lika she did in 1990 n 1991. |
