Strong tremors indicating magma flow, aleted athorities that something was about to happen.
No one forsaw the amount of destruction that happened.
Look for quotes by a man named Harry Truman. ( Not the president )
No. We have only developed the ability to predict volcanic eruptions in the later half of the twentieth century.
It does erupt, just not all the time. Many volcanoes go through quiet periods of years and even centuries between eruptions. Mount St. Helens is known for a massive explosive eruption that ocurred on May 18, 1980. The volcano also produced a series of small eruptions from 2004 to 2008 and has since been quite. It will erupt again some day, though we do not know when.
Mount St Helens first started erupting about 40,000 year ago.
The scientists knew that Mount Saint Helens was going to erupt because of the seismic activity around it. There has been frequent earthquakes under the mountain before it was going erupt. The earthquakes were because of the lava building up inside of the volcano and it started to inflate like a balloon and in May 18, 1980 that balloon exploded, by Nii Lomotey Engmann.Hello Mr. Alan G. Cummings, Reno Hendrew, The Langleys(Carl Heinze and Bronwyn) and Ale Chauca.
Long ago, when people built these cities, they didn't know that the mountain up on top of them was about to erupt. When people discovered that the volcano does erupt, the population of the city was too big. Therefore there are too many people to evacuate the whole city so they just carry on living there, in constant knowing that they are in great danger.
there were many warnings about mount St.Helen if they had an earthquake it would trigger the volcano to erupt causing the people to know if it will erupt or not
they diddnt
eh, psychics? We don't know when they're going to occur in advance, they can only look at patterns of when faults slip or volcanoes erupt and guesstimate.

i dont know do you?
The last major eruption of Mt. Kilimanjaro was between 150,000 and 200,000 years ago so, NO people did not know that it would erupt.
Mount St Helens first started erupting about 40,000 year ago.
when do you know when a volcano is about to erupt
you never know when the volcano is going to erupt or shoot ash...it is better if you just stay away from them period.
i don't know really but it i think it will erupt after Halloween i will find out!
When lava spews out of it.
