Mt. St. Helens Rockfall Plumes Draw Notice
An AP newswire article, via ABC News, reports that:
Rockfall at Mount St. Helens kicked up a dust plume Tuesday that rose above the rim of the volcano's crater, drawing attention in the region.
"It's a nice sunny day and we're having the first couple of rockfalls that we've had in a while that are putting little dust plumes over the crater rim," said U.S. Geological Survey geologist Seth Moran at the agency's Cascade Volcano Observatory here, about 50 miles south of the mountain that erupted to deadly effect in May 1980.
Seismic activity has continued at low levels, Moran said.
The white plume floating above the peak was raising concerns locally.
