Guess when you think Mt. St. Helen's is going to blow and win fabulous prizes!

Ok, there are no prizes, but come into this thread anyways.

Here, is the MPSIMS thread on Ask the Mt. St. Helen’s stuff.

I thought it might be fun to predict the next big Kaboom of this volcano.

Date & Hour are needed to participate. Tie breaker will be, I dunno, I can’t think of anything that could be relavant.

So, opening kickoff for this natural event:
Shirley Ujest: October 3, 2004. - 9:25am. PST.

My vote:

October 11, 2:15pm PST (when I was born, BTW)

October 15, 2004 10:45 PM EST

October 12, 9:20am, PST.

November 2, 5:00pm PST.

October 15, during whatever block of time I’m sitting in a conference room in Portland. Like there isn’t already enough crap in the air in the Willamette Valley this week!

What does Duckster say?

Well, …

  1. Make sure you check your date and time before posting. Daylight saving ends at 2:00 am on October 31 this year. Four out of the five of you provided a date/time that is inaccurate.

  2. We need to accept an official time based upon the USGS report when it finally occurs.

  3. Since you folks are all watching the tape-delayed version (Mount St. Helens erupted during the summer filming), it wouldn’t be fair to offer my opinion since I was there at the time. Besides, the sponsors made us sign a non-disclosure agreement and the network needs the ratings.

:smiley:

3:30pm on October 5, and the grand prize should be a new paint job for my van. I live in Portland, Oregon, and the last time this happened it was like driving through a freakin’ sand-blaster. :stuck_out_tongue:

November 15th, 5:42AM.

I want a “Where were you when Mount St. Helens blew?” patch, like the one on my pink zip-up sweatshirt when I was in 3rd grade or so. (Answer: well, I was born in 1984, so…)

You’re not concerned about the fine volcanic ash scouring your engine parts to shreds?
:smiley:

October 7, 8:42 AM PDT.

October 8, 2004 between the hours of 9am and 10:30am, CDT.

If I have to be more specific on the time, I’ll say… umm, 9:47am CDT.

I have no idea but I look forward to it. I’m close enough that I can experience the fallout but far enough away that I don’t have to worry about my apartment bursting into flames or anything.

I picked an interesting time to move to Oregon.

Put me down for Novemver 2nd, at 7:15PM local time. It just seems appropriate that there should be a big eruption on election day.

November 2, 2:00 PM PST. That’d make it 5 PM on the east coast, which, with it being election day and all, would make it a national evening newscaster’s and producer’s wet dream. Hey, I like to spread a little joy wherever I can. I’m wishing y’all a big ol’ news wet dream ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, FOX and on and on and on and on ad nauseum with all the news channels. Oh! And to the lucky Weather Channel person who gets to stand there and get blown to bits or melted, Way To Go! WOOHOO for you!
