Mount St. Helens Is Really Erupting On Social Media

The social media account for the Mount St. Helens volcano in Washington State erupted on Wednesday after someone suggested there might be a better mountain in the continental United States.

The mountain saw a tweet by meteorologist Rob Carlmark singing the praises of Mount Shasta and immediately blew a gasket, saying the California mountain looks like a little bitch to me.

The volcano told Carlmark to suck my ash hole in a follow-up post.

Mount St. Helens shading of Shasta immediately attracted attention from lovers of other mountains, which led to more salty comments from the volcano.

Things got down and dirty for a while.

But Mount St. Helens mounted quite an offensive defense against all comers.
