The last 40 or so years have been very quiet hurricane years. The decades prior to this, you may recall Flordia was practically a shooting gallery.
The reason for this is that the Atlatnic currents have a 40 year cycle of flowing quickly, or flowing slowly. Hurricane activity and closely tied to these currents. We are now exiting a period of relative dormancy and are getting a lot more hurricanes. If you live in the south east U.S. you'd realize that this hasn't been THAT abnormal a year, when compared to the last several years. Let's look at 2003.

or 2002:

I could go on, but why waste my time? 40 years ago we began a period of dormancy. This period is ending. It will begin once more in another 40 odd years. This is a predictable, well known weather phenomenon.
Earthquakes and Volcanoes are normal geological occurances, particularly in that region of the continent. I remember discussing with my friend last Christmas break how he just missed out a 6.5 earthquake by coming home. Oh, by the way, this particular earthquake was expected, as it comes in a fairly regular cycle
As for St. Helens, 'shows increasing signs of activity' is a long way from 'IT'S COMING RIGHT FOR US!!!.' Volcanoes erupt, big fucking deal. Are you really suprised that a volcano that has erupted very recently in the geological past may actually erupt again? You should thank them anyways, without volcanoes there would probably be no life on earth any more.
Stop wasting time on these nonsense ideas.
