Update: Apocalypse Watch

Posted at 18:31 in .

Mount St. Helens, which let off some steam yesterday, has taken a turn for the worse—it appears that magma might be involved in the next eruption, and so the nearby observatory has been evacuated.

From CNN.com:


Scientists warn Saturday that Mount St. Helens could erupt within 24 hours, and with more force than previously expected.. "There is a 50 percent chance or greater that there is going to be an eruption and a good chance that it will involve magma," said the U.S. Geological Survey's Tom Pierson. "We're watching very closely."

Repent sinners! Repent!

Hello Garrett,

This is Jennifer's cousin, Sara. Jennifer gave me the address for your blog and I've enjoyed it so far. I was telling her that you should've attended my Ecology lecture on Thursday where we discussed the different ways mass extinctions could occur, as well as Mount St. Helens and Yosemite being one huge volcano. Anyway, I hope DC is treating you kindly and that you are well. Have an excellent day.

Sara
