Fox News: Spike in earthquakes at Washington volcano prompts more monitoring from scientists
Scientists are increasing monitoring at Mount Adams in Washington due to a spike in seismic activity, with six earthquakes recorded in September, the highest monthly total since monitoring began in 1982. New temporary seismic stations will be installed to enhance data collection.
Despite the increased activity, the USGS maintains that there is no immediate cause for concern, keeping the alert level at Green and Normal. Mount Adams is the largest active volcano in Washington, with past eruptions occurring thousands of years ago.
