So Mount Saint Helens (only 50 or so miles from us) “erupted” today. It was more of a burp. Nothing at all threatening, this time. Barely a 2 on the VEI scale, if that. Not like the 5VEI that tore the top off the mountain in 1980. And certainly nothing like the 6.9VEI that destroyed Santorini c1600BCE and hastened the decline of the Minoans. Largest explosion in modern history, that one. But no Atlantis myths spawned today, folks. Please move along.
