[pct-l] Mount St. Helens Eruption Imminent

[rogers at isi.edu (Craig Milo Rogers)]

	There are widely circulated news reports that a new Mount St.
Helens eruption is imminent.  The May 1980 Mount St. Helens explosion
left ash on (parts of) PCT OR/WA Section H, but the reports I've seen
so far indicate that it the currently expected event is unlikely to
affect the PCT.  Has anyone local to the area seen any informed
speculation on what area might be affected by the currently expected
eruption (yesterday's winds would take aby ashfall away from the PCT,
for instance)?
