Mount St. Helens

On Friday Mount St. Helens had a small eruption. I almost wouldn't even call it that. It was more like a big burp. It did it again today but it was smaller. They still have the volcano at a level 3, which is the highest level. Scientist are not expecting an eruption like on May 18th but they do expect the volcano to keep blowing off some steam.
The May 18, 1980 eruption killed 57 people and blanketed much of the Northwest with ash. The mountain's eruption on May 18, 1980, blasted away its top 1,300 feet, spawned mudflows that choked the Columbia River shipping channel, leveled hundreds of square miles of forest and paralyzed towns and cities more than 250 miles to the east with volcanic ash.
