Everyone Out! She's Gonna Blow! I Mean, Everyone In! She's Gonna Blow!
While it has been venting ash and steam since last fall, Mount St. Helens released a much larger plume of ash Tuesday evening, resulting in a fine layer of dust 125 miles to the east-northeast. Scientists do not believe that the recent emission signifies that a major eruption like the one seen in 1980 is imminent, but they will continue to monitor Helens' ash hole for any further releases of gas.
