While checking the seismographs tonight for the region, it is becoming apparent that Mt. Rainier is also awakening along with Mt St Helens. At first, I had hoped that the seismographs at Mt Rainier were merely picking up the earth movement from St Helens, but the tremors do not correlate.

By checking the charts for St Helens back on the 25th of the month - when the current event began - the buildup is easily seen. There are occasional quakes that are of noticeable strength, while the others are extremely small. Moving forward from the 25th, you can see the intensity grow, as well as the frequency shorten. Well, the same scenario is playing itself out right now under Mt Rainier, especially the Longmire station.

Posted below are the charts showing this growth at St Helens, along with the more current ones from Mt Rainier. If Mt Rainier's activity increases in a manner similar to Mt St Helens, this will be an interesting time indeed for all of this region......

Here is Mt St Helens from the 25th:



And here is St Helens again, from the morning of the 26th:



This is Mt St Helens right now. Constant earth movement......



Alert status for Mt St Helens is now at "3". Now for Mt Rainier. Here's the chart for Rainier from yesterday morning/afternoon:



And this is the current chart for Mt Rainier:

As you can see, the earth is starting to move under this volcano as well. The duration of the quakes under Mt Rainier is longer, and the frequency is longer than at Mt St Helens, but there is obviously something going on here as well. I really want this one to go back to sleep.
