Mount St. Helens Volcanic Advisory (Alert Level Two)
Earthquake locations are not being updated currently, although seismicity is continuing at Mount St Helens
Automatically calculated locations and magnitudes for Mount St. Helens events were inaccurate due to the continuous nature of the activity, so we have suspended posting of automatic locations in the MSH area. Analysts are going through the recorded data systematically and event locations will be posted as they become available. Our efforts are directed toward interpretation of data, in a rapidly evolving situation, rather than rapid posting of individual events.
Thanks for your patience
Mount St. Helens Volcano Advisory (Alert Level Two)
September 29, 2004 10:40 A.M., PDT
U.S. Geological Survey Cascades Volcano Observatory, Vancouver, Washington
University of Washington Dept. of Earth and Space Sciences, Seattle, Washington
Over night, seismic activity at Mount St. Helens has accelerated significantly, which increases our level of concern that current unrest could culminate in an eruption. We are increasing the alert level to the second of three levels, which is similar to Color Code Orange of the alert system used by the Alaska Volcano Observatory and analogous to the National Weather Service's hazard watch. Earthquakes are occurring at about four per minute. The largest events are approaching Magnitude 2.5 and they are becoming more frequent. All are still at shallow levels in and below the lava dome that grew in the crater between 1980 and 1986. This suggests that the ongoing intense earthquake activity has weakened the dome, increasing the likelihood of explosions or perhaps the extrusion of lava from the dome. The cause and outcome of the accelerating unrest is uncertain. Explosions from the lava dome could occur suddenly and without further warning. During such explosions the dome and crater floor are at greatest risk from ballistic projectiles, but the rim of the crater and flanks of the volcano could also be at risk. Explosions would also be expected to produce ash clouds that rise several thousand feet above the crater rim and drift downwind. During today, wind forecasts from the National Weather Service, combined with eruption models, show that ash clouds will move in a southeasterly direction and could dust areas tens of miles or more from the volcano with ash. Landslides and debris flows from the crater that are large enough to reach the Pumice Plain are also possible. If the current unrest is being driven by a small slug of magma at shallow depth, extrusion of lava could also occur.
At present there is no evidence that new gas-rich magma has ascended to shallow levels and could generate a large sustained eruption. But we are being especially vigilant to become aware of such evidence should it appear.
We continue to monitor the situation closely and will issue additional updates as warranted, whether activity escalates or returns to background levels. More >

Hmmm she was ten + years old.....
and I was just thinking about about a funeral
for the passing of the "Old Earth"
on 9/11 Miracle would have been seven + years old
perhaps it was Miracle that has held the "intent" for us
and the planet and now it is returned to us to hold the intent
for the "New Earth"
Thankyou Miracle for doing this
perhaps Miracle might say to us
"Espavo"

Miracle, a symbol of peace, passes away

Miracle is gone.
Miracle the buffalo, the symbol of peace, died at 11:07 p.m. Sunday on the
Dave and Valerie Heider farm in Janesville.
"She became sick on Friday," Dave Heider said. "She was off her feed and
became lethargic."
The vet was with Miracle for much of last weekend but couldn't save her.
"We don't believe she was suffering," Heider said Friday afternoon. "It
looked like she was resting peacefully."
The vet and Valerie Heider were with Miracle when she died.
It's not known why Miracle died, and the Heiders thought it would be
inappropriate to do an autopsy.
"I really don't know what happened; she's always been small," Dave Heider
said.
Miracle was buried in an unmarked grave. The Heiders may plan a memorial
service at a later date and haven't decided on a grave marker.
Miracle was born on Aug. 20, 1994. She was the first all-white buffalo born
since 1933.
A white buffalo is a sacred figure to some American Indians. According to a
Lakota Sioux legend, the return of the female white buffalo calf heralded an
era of peace and understanding among the people of the Earth.
Her appearance caused an influx of visitors from all over the world to the
45-acre farm at 2739 S. River Road.
People tramped up and down the farm lane at all hours of the night. The
phone rang constantly. The Heiders had to set aside part of their land for
parking.
The attention was exhausting.
In an 1999 interview, Heider talked about the days after Miracle's birth:
"We figured after three months it would all dry up and go away. Now, we know
better. Sometimes, I regret it."
But his attitude changed, and he came to feel blessed by Miracle's presence.
"We met people from all over the world," Heider said. "We had opportunities
that we never would have had before."
The Heiders have played host to 300 tribes from all over the world including
the Masai of Africa, the Aztecs of Mexico and aborigines from Australia. The
Sioux, the Cree and the Ho Chunk are just a few of the tribes that have been
to their home.
Over the years, Miracle turned black, red and yellow. Part of the legend
said that the white buffalo would turn different colors to reflect all human
races.
Miracle had three calves, Millennium, Lady Miracle, Mitakuye Oyasin - which
means "We Are All Related in the Sacred Hoop of Life" in the Nakota Sioux
language.
In August, about 300 people visited the Heider farm for her 10th birthday.
Many visitors said Miracle represented hope in time of war.
"The legend doesn't say anything about Miracle dying," Heider said.
"Buffalos can live to be 25 to 30 years old."
Heider delayed releasing the news for the better part of a week because he
and his wife had to go on a business trip and they were still adjusting to
their own shock and sadness.
"I really don't know how you can love an animal that much that you couldn't
touch. She wasn't tame, you know, she was basically a wild animal," Heider
said. "It's hard to put into words; I don't know how to explain it. It's
like losing a close friend or relative."
