MOUNT ST. HOOD?????

Just days before the 30th anniversary of the Mount St. Helens eruption, Mount Hood may be rumbling to life.  Mount Hood has been the scene of a swarm of earthquakes, which can precede a dormant volcano coming to life again.  The largest quake measured 3.o on the Richter scale, Friday afternoon.  U.S. Geological Survey volcanologists say swarms of small quakes have shaken the mountain for about a month.  They say they don’t think Mount Hood is going to erupt, but they’re watching their instruments.
