Before the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980, there were several smaller explosive eruptions and earthquakes that signaled the volcano's increased activity. The eruption on May 18th, 1980, was preceded by a series of steam explosions, a bulge forming on the north flank, and increased seismic activity. Scientists closely monitored the situation and warned of the impending eruption, leading to the evacuation of the area around the volcano.
