INFORMATION STATEMENT
October 24, 1997
-
This morning at 07:29 PDT another avalanche occurred on the east side of
Mount Adams. The seismic signal from this event was significantly smaller
than the signal associated with the
10/20/97 avalanche.
Preliminary reports
from local residents indicated that the new avalanche deposit, which is
visible as dark streaks on the earlier deposit, is much smaller than the
10/20 deposit and traveled about half the distance of the 10/20 event.
