Pressure Building Again Inside St. Helens

Haha. About eight years ago I went to go visit some friends of my family on the edge of Oregon. Mount St. Helens was only a little ways away. It was really cool, it was huge on the horizon. We were going to go there but it was closed off because a boulder fell and killed some guy the week before.

:Edit: I just found out the mountain I was close to was not St. Helens, but some other mountain. So not so cool.

That was probably Mt. Hood you saw, which is pretty cool. You can see it from Portland, Oregon. In 2000 I went to Mt. St. Helens. It's huge, and very spectacular. The 5 - 10 mile radius around it is all barren. There was even a little river that was bone dry, and the part where the water would be as still gray and solid. I highly doubt this will be as bad as the explosion in 1980.
