Glacier Peak West is going bizarre.

Mt. Hood webicorder is completely offline. I don't like that when that happens.

Moon Mountain of the 3-sisters is going ape-#

As well as Rattlesnake mountain

And Husband and Dodson Butte are looking jicky as well.

There's definitely something stirring beneath those big hills.

Furthermore, this isn't entirely unusual activity. Most folks seem to forget that the whole area is part of the "Ring of Fire" of the Pacific and there are a number of active volcanos in and around the area. When you have any activity on one side of the Ring, it tends to cause activity around other points... just as when you drop a bar of soap into your bathtub, it does tend to spread ripples to all sides of that bathtub.

My friends still can point to damage from the Seattle earthquake that happened within the last 10 years and there's damage from other quakes that happened over the previous thousand years there if you know where to look for it.

If you guys will remember, there was a lot of warning about Mt. St. Helens. In recent years, volcano warning systems have been accurate enough to get people away from the vicinity of volcanos when there was a real danger rather than waiting till there was a disaster and saying "oops, sorry" afterwards.

I like volcanos, so I tend to follow stories about them -- the situation on Ranier bears watching because someday it WILL go boom. But in dealing with a potential danger (like driving a car at 60 mph) you need to learn when signs point to a real danger (a truck headed straight towards you at 100 mph) and when signs are normal (other cars driving along the road at 60 mph.)

If you flinch and yell "DANGER" at every little sign, you will miss the signs of the real danger.

Meanwhile, volcanos are neat things... reading up on the current research (you can find more of it using the SCIRUS.COM search engine) should produce some papers by the folks who predicted volcano eruptions in the past 20 years (including Mt. St. Helens... thank goodness. Only 7 died; more would have died without the warnings from the vulcanologists.)
