But one is still expected. They're saying it won't be as big as the one in 1980. Funny, that - the eruption coverage is one of the first pieces of news coverage I can remember watching. I was four years old. And the national geographic issue that went all out covering the eruption and it's aftermath (January 1981) is my favorite issue.

Not terribly sure *why* this was the case - probably had something to do with my six year old self being obsessed with volcanoes. And geology in general.
