Magma or Magma Not

Quote from those monitoring the imminent disaster at Mount St. Helens today today:

Scientists said they do not expect anything close to the devastation of the explosion in May 18, 1980, that killed 57 people and coated much of the Northwest with ash.

''Of course, the volcano reserves the right to change its mind," said monument scientist Peter Frenzen with the US Forest Service, which operates the park.

Nice.

This discussion has now closed. Thanks to all who participated.
