St. Helens By KOMO Staff & News Services September 28, 2004 [url=http://www.komotv.com/stories/33274.htm]http://www.komotv.com/stories/33274.htm[/url] SEATTLE - Seismic energy releases from Mount St. Helens have been increasing for days now, cranking up to a level not seen since 1986, when the volcano's last dome-building eruption occurred. "Since this morning, the energy releases have been slowly but steadily ramping up," said Jeff Wynn, chief scientist at the Cascade Volcano Observatory operated by the U.S. Geological Survey in Vancouver, Wash. - about 50 miles south of the 8,364-foot peak and 140 miles south of Seattle. "We're furiously setting up new GPS stations all around the place," Wynn said Monday, adding about six to the dozen or so already there. Using Global Positioning Satellite data, scientists can detect tiny movements by the earth. Swarms of small earthquakes have been recorded at the mountain since Thursday. On Sunday, there were more than 10 larger events, with magnitudes ranging between 2 and 2.8. By Monday, the quakes were moderating - with magnitudes ranging between 0.5 and 2-plus - and occurring at a rate of one or two per minute, Wynn said. "Energy is just boiling out," he said. The quakes are occurring less than a mile below the 925-foot dome of hardened lava inside the volcano's gaping crater - created when Mount St. Helens erupted May 18, 1980, killing 57 people, leveling hundreds of square miles of forests, spewing mud and debris for miles and spreading volcanic ash across the region. Early tests of gas samples collected above the volcano by helicopter Monday did not show unusually high levels of carbon dioxide or sulfur. "This tells us that we are probably not yet seeing magma moving up in the system," said Wynn. Scientists used a helicopter to collect gas samples and to check for ground deformation. They want to know whether the quakes are the result of water seeping into the mountain or magma moving under its crater. In either case, scientists will continue to watch the volcano. Observatory scientists are working 12-hour days, he said. "This is just a hoot to them. This is what they live and breathe and now it's walking and talking to them." The USGS issued a notice of volcanic unrest on Sunday, citing "increased likelihood of a hazardous event." U.S. Forest Service officials closed hiking trails above the tree line at 4,800 feet. The visitor's center and most other trails at the Mount St. Helens National Monument remained open. Hiking about the tree line is by permit only and limited to 100 people a day. This time of year, weekday numbers tend to be low while clear weekends draw near capacity, said U.S. Forest Service spokesman Tom Knappenberger. The more accessible Johnston Ridge Visitors Center draws as many as 110,000 visitors a month in late summer, dropping to about 90,000 in early fall. In the event of an explosion, survey geologist Willie Scott said concern would be focused within the crater and on the upper flanks of the volcano. A five-mile area, primarily north of the volcano, could receive flows of mud and rock debris. In October 1980, five months after the volcano's devastating eruption, the lava dome began building in the crater. The last dome-building eruption came six years later, though steam explosions have periodically rocked the dome. Earthquake swarms in 1998 and 2001 did not result in any surface activity. On Monday morning, a helicopter lowered geophysicist Michael Lisowski onto the lava dome to replace a failed GPS instrument, Wynn said. While the chopper was near the dome, the pilot was in constant radio contact with geophysicist Bobbie Myers, the observatory's aircraft manager, who during the 1980 blast learned to detect subtle changes in seismic monitors. "She's known to be able to predict explosive events up to a couple of minutes ahead of time," said Wynn, who confessed to being a nervous wreck while the device was being swapped out.

Or do ye feel secure that He Who is in Heaven will not send against you a violent tornado (with showers of stones), so that ye shall know how (terrible) was My warning? 18. But indeed men before them rejected (My warning): then how (terrible) was My rejection (of them)? 19. Do they not observe the birds above them, spreading their wings and folding them in? None can uphold them except ((Allah)) Most Gracious: Truly ((Allah)) Most Gracious: Truly it is He that watches over all things. 20. Nay, who is there that can help you, (even as) an army, besides ((Allah)) Most Merciful? In nothing but delusion are the Unbelievers. 21. Or who is there that can provide you with Sustenance if He were to withhold His provision? Nay, they obstinately persist in insolent impiety and flight (from the Truth). 22. Is then one who walks headlong, with his face grovelling, better guided,- or one who walks evenly on a Straight Way? 23.

Bismillah Mash a Allah brother this is an excellent reminder, people just tend to always forget. I just split the topic which contained another excellent post and moved it to non Muslims for more benefit. It really fits there. jazakum Allah khairan

Assalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu, I pray that this reaches you in the best of health and Eeman. A person who is impatient about his sustenance, worried about why he has so little, and unsatisfied at being lower than others in worldly status is like one who precedes the Imam when going from one stage of prayer to the next. At the end, he cannot make Salaams (the final action that makes the prayer complete) until after the Imam has done so. Similarly, one does not die until he receives all of the provision that was decreed for him. Sustenance and provision were preordained and decided upon fifty thousand years before the creation was created. "The Event ordained by Allah will come to pass, so seek not to hasten it." Surah An-Nahl – Ayah 1. "And if He intends any good for you there is none who can repel His Favour…" Surah Yunus – Ayah 107. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O' Allah, I seek refuge in you from the stamina of the wicked person and from the feebleness that accompanies (a false) confidence." This phrase has a very significant meaning. As I contemplated key events in history, I found that many of Allah's enemies had prodigious levels of fortitude, hardiness, and perseverance. In contrast, I found that many Muslims were dull, lethargic, and feeble, all the while thinking - and falsely so - that they were putting their trust in Allah. A true trust in Allah requires striving and working, and then leaving the results to Allah. Wasalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu
