Geological Shaking and Moving in North America
30 September 2004
It has been a very busy geological week with all of the earthquakes here in California including a magnitude 6.0 and the potential awakening of Mount St. Helens in South Western Washington just north of my old stomping grounds of Portland Oregon. I was in Spokane Washington back in 1980 when Mount St. Helens erupted the first time and remember all of the volcanic ash everywhere.
Now combine this with all of the hurricanes, floods, droughts, and it makes you wonder what is going on.
