Mount St.Helens Eruption - October 27, 2004

[AlexBradleyPopovich]

I saw it erupting on the way to the grocery store. AWESOME!

[SamhainTheDark]

It wasn't as much an eruption as it was one of its infamous steam plumes.

[deathknigt3000]

this was not really an eruption. no ash came out. this was only steam and gas.

[worldslayer]

erupting? more like a fart

[bsoglobal]

That was a volcano fart!!

[vanessa13273]

mabey the mountain is a boy and they qave it a qirls name and it qot mad when a tourist said she is beautiful and he said "Thats It!!" and he erupted

[xXCrimsonVirtueXx]

@vanessa13273 What does "qave, qot, and qirls" Mean? My friend explained the other day, but I forgot.

[mandalawX]

this isn't an eruption

[emsevas]

not fake. from a few years ago..steam and ash..not much of a big deal compared to 1980's eruption

[Kaiydia4]

@MyChuck11 Guess what, volcanoes can erupt more then once!

[heathfiedler]

Volcano fart..

[MyChuck11]

this is fake and guy

[66Metallicaman66]

@MyChuck11 This isn't fake. It's real. Just go to Mount St. Helens and look at it yourself.

:P

[AARFAN1100]

ASH! SO EXCITING!

[240sx503]

Oct. 27 is my bday :)

[hotdogbunhamburger]

300,301 Bob

[undyingliberty]

She's just clearing her throat, not to mention that cam is on the web. I got the impression that you were AT the ridge filming.

[Michellex29]

fake

[ScotlandTh3Brave]

@Michellex29 wow ur fuking smart,not fake just not an eruption faggot

[Mrshazeleyez0982]

at is nothing

[rig48]

ahh shes just farting lol.

[millerjoseph17]

where is mount saint helens located at?

[rivercisco]

@millerjoseph17 haha in the great state of washington! near the south

[funkyflights]

@millerjoseph17

Washington state just 100 plus miles or so south of Seattle....

[ObiTonyKenobi]

@funkyflights

Seattle is IN Washington State!

[funkyflights]

@ObiTonyKenobi

YES.... I know Seattle is in Washington State..... I live there .... lol... what do you mean with your comment ?

[funkyflights]

@ObiTonyKenobi

Mount St Helens is about 100 miles South of Seattle....

[clouser67]

@funkyflights Yes, Washington state IS 100 miles south of Seattle. It's also 200 miles east of Seattle, and 4 feet north of Seattle, and 100 yards to the southeast of Seattle.

[funkyflights]

@clouser67

I was asked where Mount St Helens is.... I answered "Washington State 100 plus miles south of Seattle!!! before you act like a cocky idiot at least comprehend the post it might make you seem a little less stupid...

[clouser67]

@funkyflights Well if its not in Washington, where is it?????

[funkyflights]

@clouser67

Mount St Helens IS IN WASHINGTON..... It's South of Seattle by a 100 plus miles... Seattle is also in Washington....

[clouser67]

@funkyflights I looked at a map. It turns out Mt. St. Helena isn;t even a town! It's a MOUN TAIN!! Helena Montana IS a town. It's the capitol of Montana. Actually it's in Montana. FYI Olympia is the capitol of Washington State. Hope this helps :)

[funkyflights]

@clouser67

Mount St Helens IS A VOLCANO yes I think we all know that...lol.... Washington is the state where Mount St Helens is..... lol

[NickLikesToSweepPick]

@funkyflights No, Mt. St. Helens is in Afghanistan, any idiot knows that. Haha, I am joking of course, I just think it's hilarious that people don't know where it is. I love St. Helens, sumitted it twice.

[funkyflights]

@NickLikesToSweepPick

haha I hear ya man...

[lilgangstabowwow]

@funkyflights hahah what the hell is up with that guy.. he didn't even have anything to comment on since he clearly didn't read your first comment.

[funkyflights]

@lilgangstabowwow

lol ... I know man.... It's pretty funny some of the things people say on here...

[lilgangstabowwow]

@funkyflights haha yeah

[cutepoodle1233]

i luv the fact that i get to see mount saint helens everyday...i live where out from the main window, u get the perfect view of it and its topless peak =] amazing volcano

[selenamiley321]

ymj6 7hav you seen it erupt

[ScaredPiglet]

The eruption is like the Korean war..... officially it never ends but nothing ever happens anymore.

[ADazzledDazzle]

i went to the Johnston Ridge Observatory on a field trip last year...it was pretty cool, but there wasnt smoke coming out of it.

[wasngotango]

listen, this is a real eruption. mt saint helens is a dormant volcano but inside the caulera is a smaller volcano and that is what this is

[huettmr]

I think you're still going through the eruption

[lord6671]

I Lived Through The Eruption Of Mt St Helens...I moved to London Now

[theguy1677]

This is not an eruption you bunch of DUMBASSES!!

[FierceIndian07]

lmfao!! u bunch a dumb ass's! ahahEHEHEHEAAAAA!!

[theguy1677]

WTF!!

[theguymakeinfunofyou]

where the hell did it erupt you just got seismic clowds moveing over long periods of time YOU guys are retarded and to say the least she struck back with fury

its a volcano its not a femail people

[8done8]

... watch the timer at top. eruption happens at about 20:30...

[BHR96]

i laughed at RodsAndAxes comment :L

online dictionary :)

[aggressiveinline911]

lol

[aBaker1095]

johnson observatory just closed it's doors this year. to bad cause they had a really good view of the mountain. named after an idiot who died in the eruption though

[unsane]

Actually, it's still open. I was just there. And that "idiot" was the one who warned everyone that this type of eruption would happen, but they wouldn't listen to him. But hey, you're a whopping 19 years old!!! You must know everything!

[theguy1677]

well said mate!!

[pkingrs101]

lol richard i don't want that to happen because um it would kill all other people too.

[Rotard12a]

It's just blowin' off some steam. Quite safe to say it will be a while before it does anything like 1980 again.

A long while ;)

[ilovebees33]

Hey....... Can you send me this? Is that possible? Please? Thank you! Great video!!

[aniellotama83]

download realplayer gold 11 and download this video from the web :D

[chiapet755]

hella cool

[byZenn]

Mt. Snt. Helens was just outgassing...

[DanielVolker]

She was just going through her period!

[MyChuck11]

@DanielVolker lol but this video is fake mount st helens urupted in 19 80 so this is fake

[lilgangstabowwow]

@MyChuck11 volcanoes erupt more than once you idiot. for example, Hekla volcano in Iceland has erupted about 60 times, and it's only about 6500 years old. 10 of these eruptions, have occurred in the past 100 years.

The mauna loa volcano in hawaai, has erupted more than a 100 times in the past 40 years.

[45Sam34]

@DanielVolker please its loot wit shes mount saint helens she will kill you if you say that FREAK LEAVE YOUTUBE ALONE

[p3erf80g4949]

i remember this

[chickenwrap]

i was a jr in highschool i remember everyone went outside to watch this

[maferkan]

why do you call it eruption?? this is clearly not an eruption, and you DO know that

[FatalFist]

Yeah it's more of a vent than an eruption.

[digitalwarfares]

Well it was erupting continuously, hence the growing lava dome of fresh lava deposits. Urgo "eruption". The volcano has gone silent now, apparently. Which means the lava dome and the lava beneath it will slowly cool down and solidify choking the vent. Gradually building up pressure when new onsets of magma begin to expand and travel up from the chamber.

[Roncace]

that mound in the crater of the volcano, with the smoke venting out of it, is that a lava dome of some sort?

[bapyou]

It is a dome, yes ... called a rhyolite dome after the type of rock it is composed of.

[petec17]

doesn't that mean another destructive eruption is due? there was a big dome just before the 1980 eruption.

[bapyou]

"there was a big dome just before the 1980 eruption."

What you are thinking of is the bulge that grew on the NE side of MSH before the big eruption. It wasn't a dome per se. A rhyolite dome forms after a catastrophic eruption. It's the tail end of an eruption cycle; once the magma is depleted (for the time being) of volatile gases. Rhyolite is a thick, pasty lava that oozes out of the volcano's feeder dike forming a steep-sided feature. The magma involved does not produce explosive eruptions.

[lemurman99]

Any release of lava from a volcano is an eruption. It doesn't have to be large, destructive, and sudden like the 1980 eruption. In this case, it just built onto the dome inside the crater.

[RoudyBusch18]

hehe i remember watching this in the fourth grade, it was like top headlines.

[FatalFist]

Same here but I think I was a sophmore listening to the news of Earthquakes starting again and then one morning they said clouds were rising. It's building up again, sweetness.

[chadreedjamie122]

OH, so that is what it looks like when it is erupting, other than the big one in 1980 of course...

[llamalover02]

i love how it glows in the dark! (wow that sounded immature!)I want to study geology in Oregon and Washington is so fascinating!

[Ginnerjay]

theres a mini volcano in mt st helens

[kettlecornpoo]

GO WASHINGTON!!!!!

[all66books]

She smokes every now and again. I live in the Lower Columbia area of Washington, and on a clear day at decent elevation, I can see it clearly. Havent seen it smoke in awhile, though.

[karlomakjashper]

looks like a

tornado...

[foxgoddess]

i went to see mt st.helans before..my mom says its still active but it wont blow tho..just it still has lava in it tho

[KevinMartinOWS]

Your mom isn't a geologist.

[jamoca15]

Typing in capitals makes you seem smarter.

[motherlee]

We watched it from our bedroom window in Portland, OR. It was a beautiful day and it was quite a show!

[Lavahunter23]

This current eruption of St. Helens indicates that it is in a dome building stage....if it grows high enough with out blasting away again, it will replace the summit region that was lost in 1980!! God being a geologist is amazing!!

[codypop647]

I actively study Mt. St. Helens and this is not an actual eruption. This is actually steam coming off the lava vent caused by melting snow.

[azack91234567]

that person who is recording it he got his own website he lokks at mountsaint helen everday and take a picture oy it and put it on his own website he got a hd piocture of it and a regular picture of it mount saint helens looks better than it did after it erupted the trees are growing back so is the flowers

[wolframagnum]

is that for real

[Neur0ticism]

Eh, she just likes to burp or throw tantrums, that's all. At least, that's what us Northwesterns think about her. We're more concerned about Mt. Raineer throwing a tantrum.

[jbcd1211]

i think its jus the steam from the heat of da volcano

[GoldenGabriella]

even if this is small eruption it would be pretty freaking scary to be near it when it happened!! pretty freaking scary.. flipping scary.. freaking!! - this coming from a 12 year old.

[spliffty21]

none of you people understand mt. st. helens it seems like?

[KingSniperDude]

you call that an eruption

[darkrai123]

i thought mt saint helens was a coldera, not active

[falaqdad15]

ur thinking of crater lake

[pegbohan]

actually, that's just steam from the eruoption, not the eruption itself.

[fahr3nh3iT]

May 18th 1980... Eruption at the north side... one big bang indeed. Although warned, they weren't expecting a lateral eruption, they got the area of effect all wrong and people died as a result. Terrbile day in history.

[thepoliticalcenter]

This is completely false. First of all, the north face collapsed during an earthquake, it didn't explode. The release of pressure building up behind the bulge sent a pyroclastic flow northward but the eruption column was vertical. Most importantly, the evacuation zones and hazard maps were fifty miles larger in diameter than the blast wave.

Those who died were either there to cover the story, doing research, photographers, refused to evacuate, or entered the blast and lahar zones on their own.

[Harris6801]

You're right.  SLH

[somefreak90]

You were thinking of 1980. Mount St Helens started began spewing out lava in 2004 and continued doing so until late January this year.

[theshipman]

It's an eruption, just a REALLLLLLLLLLY small one. Hellen's was reather peuny today if you ask me, wheras the '86(I think) eruption was a history making event...

On the year, correct me if I'm wrong.

[lrosowsky]

it was actually 1980

[ldiotmonkey]

it erupted again in 2004 not as bad this time tho

[KingSniperDude]

really i didnt know that. i thought the only time it erupted was in 1980

[darkrai123]

fake

[lionheart2243]

No one will ever forget the day mount st. helens farted

[ASqUEe183722]

lol leg-end

[lolker88]

an eruption is when either ash spews out or a lava flow happens

[zcarenow]

so what happens when drop a bomb inside crater of volcano? will it erupt?

[aloha037]

i like this video

[aloha037]

i have always wanted to see a volcano up close

[housemandoc23]

thats kinda cool to see it is beautiful and magestic but stillhas so much power...nice vid of it and that realy puts attn towards the fact of how much was blown off the top in 1980

[chimboland]

a 2 eruption O_o

[arevirjohn]

Oops, i think it's Mt. Krakatoa.. Mt tambora was the eruption that cause Ice Age.. Sorry..

[arevirjohn]

Never mind this message..

here's the clear one:

Mt. Tabor- 75,000 year ago started the Ice Age

Mt. Tambora- 1815-1816 also known as the year without a summer

Mt. Krakatoa- 1883 devastating eruption

But folks say that the underwater volcano in Illinois was the caused of Ice Age last 75,000 years ago.. Not sure which is true..

[BigDaveGR4]

Thats after the eruption ... :@

[starlandliu]

Errr... that is not even fit to be an eruption. Just a hot steam spewing out from the mountain top.

[Canuckshousz]

have you even learned what they teach you in science10? trust me it is an eruption

[starlandliu]

An eruption is an all-out explosion at the mountain top! That small smoking you see in this video just hot gas steaming out, nothing great about that.

[Canuckshousz]

ya thats why my science teacher what sayin it was an eruption right?

[Strawhenge]

An eruption is when something comes out of something with any amount of force. Like, when you open your mouth, stupidity erupts out.

[starlandliu]

Reserves for you.

[ASqUEe183722]

lol leg-end

[TiAmo289]

Lol!!!!!!

Thats such a good call lol

[polidosk8]

@Strawhenge ahahah good one. this is just a release of steam which is common in Mt.St.Helens

[doctorwhotorchwood]

I done a project about that volcaneos eruption in 1980. That volcano was quite a bitch!

[arevirjohn]

I wish i was in Indonesia when Mt Tambora erupted in 1810's i think.. Wow, what a blast as they say that it is called a year without summer.. but why does Mt. St.helens does not included in the Top 5 Worst Eruption of National Geographic?? In their top 5 edition?

[thepoliticalcenter]

Re: arevirjohn

Mount St. Helens past eruptions aren't that significant in terms of scale but the 1980 eruption in particular was quite small. Since worst is a subjective estimate, the scale of an eruption may pale in comparison to damage done.

USGS and several academic institutions maintain a list of eruptions and spot estimates on power. Though fairly active, Mount St. Helens is not among the top five eruptions in recent let alone geologic history.

[arevirjohn]

That's why.. Gee

thanks men..

[KaliBoyinPDX]

Hahaha! The day that happened I called in sick to work cause I wanted to see it from the roof.
