Did Mt. St. Helens just erupt again today (30 May 1995)? I sit in my
office and see a large cloud in the mountains direction.

James,
I checked the earthquake data for the last few days. There have not been
any earthquakes near Mount St. Helens. As I'm sure you are aware,
eruptions are usually preceded by some seismic activity. The cloud you
observed was probably related to atmospheric conditions near the
volcano.
Thanks for your observation.
