CNN says that Mount St. Helen's has been doing some 'usual' activity in recent days/weeks. Scary if this should erupt. I lived in B.C., just north of Washington State, when the last time it erupted (what 24 years ago?), and we felt the rumblings and even got covered in several inches of ash!

Man, this is scary. The big man upstairs must have it in for good ol' U.S. of A.........

Cool. The last couple of months have been like a blockbuster movie. I suppose it can't stop now!

Nothing to see here, move along, move along...

I thought this was for Florida at first. I thought, "A volanco now? Florida is screwed!"

But I hate to see what damage that volcano could do.

I'm starting to think the Apocalypse might really be coming. I mean 6 hurricanes, I think it was, in 5 weeks (or was it 4 in five weeks?), a volcano, all the tornados ravaging the south that got hit by the tropical storms left over...jeez.

If we have a humongo earthquake in Cali, you know why.

It rained here today

Fixed.

When I was down in Tijuana, Mexico during the first half of this year, everyone was freaked out because apparently some scientists (I don't know who) had predicted that California was going to have the biggest earthquake in their history on September 28. So, if you guys fall off into the ocean today, we'll know why. :p

I guess having no rain is bad over here.

Well, soon we should have huge snow storms and some volcanic eruptions.... possibly a few more hurricanes. Even some meteors to add to the flavour....

To add to the horror, it rained here too today

I thought the big earthquake was going to happen in October. I could be mistaken though.

Anyways, the big asteroid passes by the Earth tomorrow... it's supposed to be a million miles out, but you never know...

All we need is some flooding in the midwest and a couple of really bad forest firs and we'll have it all.

Yeah things have definatly been getting crazy with these hurricanes and now Mount St. Helen is being grumpy? Bad days.. I hope nothing happens.


Off topic: Snake-eyes, where did you live in BC? I live in BC.

It rained during the night here. I'm all giddy with glee at the possibility of a huge series of natural disasters, aside from the fact that being in the MidWest makes you the target for 50% of the world's tornados...

Just to let you know, the entire top of Mt. St. Helens is gone, so even if there is an eruption, I doubt it will spew ash for hundreds of miles like it did last time, and I don't think there are any big towns in the path of any lava, esp. after the last time, so I think people will be okay. Except for those hikers.

But it never rains in Southern California..

I just got out of English class, and my teacher informed me that they had an earthquake in California today.



Thought they told me September 28. Its been half a year since I heard it, so I can't be certain. I've gotta go check to see if my teacher was lying to me though...

Edit: Nope, he wasn't. California doesn't seem to have fallen off yet though.

It's not the end of the world, it's just a bad weather season.

If that is true, we Christians have nothing to worry about because of something called the "rapture". Its you heathens that are going to be screwed, haha

California just had a 5.9 earthquake.

This is getting kinda weird.

It's like a real life Day After Tomorrow!

Isnt there something in the bible about a lot of natural disasters taking place in the end times... just curious...

*what bobbert006 said*

There was an earthquake in cali today. registered a 6 on the richter scale . I think. It was in some town that had 47 people in it though. but it had 9 aftershocks I think they said. Meh the weather is going crazy

if that's the case i'm looking for jake gyllenhaal:p

Laura:cool:

Awesome, so the earthquake happened, now we need something really crazy... how about a nuclear winter caused by an asteroid ramming us?

haha! that's really all that's left at this pt:p

No internet then...

so when are we like dead and stuff... I've got homework for tomorrow! I don't want to do it for nothing....

Better buy some volcano insurance....

The earthquake really sucked. I didn't even notice it.

I don't mean to be an idiot, but what is it like to be in an earthquake? I've never been in one, I live in boring sucky rainy scotland....

I slept through the last earthquake I was in. The only clue that I had been through one was the fact that I was out of my bed with my legs still in it. Don't know exactly how half my body fell onto the floor without me waking up though. :p

I've been saying that for weeks now

I was going to say that but I saw your post on the way down.

well, we had a thunder storm last night so :p

I live within 80 miles of St. Helens, and believe me it's really not that serious. So stop worrying, wimps!

The last one I remember was about 3-4 years ago. I was sitting in my high school math class during a test or something, and I heard the rattling sound of desk legs on the ground. I thought it was just one idiot jiggling his desk, until I realized that all of the desks were doing it. The class quickly erupted into a barrage of "what the hell!?", "earthquake!" and "cool!". I looked outside and noticed the branches of a huge nearby tree swaying, and the power lines were bouncing up and down (like what happens when you whip and extension cord lying on the ground). It immediately became obvious that the countless years of earthquake drills had been useless, as nearly every student jumped out of their seat and started running around, and those that didn't just sat in their desks and rode them around like off-balanced washing machines. After the shaking stopped (which seemed like it lasted only around 10-15 seconds), the principal kindly informed everyone over the PA system that "we just had an earthquake", and to exit the building. We spent about an hour standing outside as the faculty and custodians combed the buildings to make sure that there was no structural damage, and that the propane tanks were still intact.

The weird thing about earthquakes is that though they may last half a minute, I always have a hard time remembering more than 1-2 seconds of it. It's quite a bizarre feeling, and I never seem to fully realize what happened until it's over.

Cool been waiting for an eruption.

To the asteroid comment, we actually have one event left before that: Major flooding in the north-east U.S. Then the asteroid.
