There's been a lot of seismic activity under Mount St. Helens recently.
Between Feb. 1 and early June, seismologists documented roughly 350 small-magnitude earthquakes, the vast majority of which were too small to feel at the surface.
That much activity might sound alarming, but scientists say there’s no cause for concern.

I went to visit Saint Helens just a few months after it blew its top. And man, if you think man is better than nature, just walk through that aftermath. Those volcanologist are really doing a much better job of finding out what things are going on under the ground. So I hope they’re right. And as far as nature recovering, my sister-in-law only lives about 25 miles away and she sent us a picture of a summer camp up there. And it looks like nothing happened at least in that area. I think people forget that nature does its thing whether we wanted to or not, and eventually we might be gone, but the Earth will still be here and figure something out.
