It's pretty small. Huge plume of steam. It's certainly no 1980.

Technically... it's only a steam explosion right now, not an eruption, although that has to be imminent.

CBS news interrupted regular TV, says it's in the "early" stages of erupting, so determining how large it will be is still to be seen although they're fairly certain it will not be as big as the 1980 explosion.

Nothing close to that headline. Be careful you'll make people think it had an eruption - which it didn't.
Mt St Helens just experienced a small steam eruption of low magnitude that produced a white cloud above the volcano. It has since stopped.
I hope a volcanic eruption isn't right behind because those TV crews are way too close...

Yes..
Sanibel, It did have an eruption(Not an explusion)
It has calmed for the moment.
