The unrest began being documented March 15, 1980, however it was not immediately recognized as possibly being a precursor to a volcanic event. The seismic events were first recognized as precursor activity on March 20th, 1980 with a magnitude 4.2 under the north flank of the volcano (Which also turned out to be the eruptive and failure point of the volcano on May 18). For further and detailed readings on the precursor events before the triggered eruption please see related links for the Cascade Volcanoes Observatory.
