Should we be concerned?

MOUNT ST. HELENS BURPS AFTER DAYS OF RUMBLINGS
Mount St. Helens, the volcano that blew its top with cataclysmic force in 1980, erupted for the first time in 18 years Friday, belching a huge column of white steam and ash after days of rumblings under the mountain.

I don't think the entire world needs to be concerned, but certainly those within 300 miles should be! There was no breakage of the dome, just an exhalation of steam and ash. There is still quite a force of lava under that dome!
The last eruption from Mt. St. Helens was much more powerful than anyone had predicted, mainly because our knowledge of volcanoes is so lacking. This time, we still have limited knowledge, and frankly, when we're discussing a force of nature of this magnitude, there isn't any way to foretell the exact ramifications.
I do hope people will have more caution this time around.

TROUBLE BREWING AT MOUNT ST. HELENS
Government scientists raised the alert level Saturday for Mount St. Helens after its second steam eruption in two days was followed by a powerful tremor. They said the next eruption was imminent or in progress, and could threaten life and property in the remote area near the volcano.

Mount St. Helens' Lava Baffles Scientists
SEATTLE - Roughly every three seconds, the equivalent of a large dump truck load of lava - 10 cubic yards - oozes into the crater of Mount St. Helens, and with the molten rock comes a steady drumfire of small earthquakes. The unremitting pace, going on for 15 months now, is uncommon, said U.S. Geological Survey geologist Dave Sherrod. Experts say it is unclear what the activity signifies or how much longer it will continue.
