I think the certainty of an imminent eruption of Mt St Helens was signaled by a 'growth' on the northwest slope for several days, measurements indicated it was growing about 5 feet every day.
Earthquake swarms are fairly common and not a reliable predictor. Underemployed journalists writing panic pieces shouldn't cause anybody to start nailing up 'for sale' signs.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

A friend of mine was taking care of a dilatometer on the bulge of Mt Saint Helens. After the mountain blew his boss asked him if he thought they could find it and salvage it. One of out junior scientist has Johnston Ridge Observatory named after him. He was on it when the mountain blew and his last words were something like "there it goes". He was in an area deemed to be safe but it was not. They planted a tree at the Menlo Park USGS campus in his honor and later cut it down to make way for a new building. I spent a couple of days near Sprit Lake a few years after the eruption installing a bore hole acelometerr array. Often the mountain would be in clouds and we would have ash raining down on us. The only way out was directly toward the caldera and then across the front of it to get out of the danger zone. The accelometer we placed at a depth of 100 feet failed shortly after we installed it due to being cooked by the heat.

I have hopes for black rock desert
That will solve the diesel fuel problem

I don’t live there and I didn’t know his friend, but I remember it from 3rd grade when we did hallway artwork at school. From my ghetto school in Ft Bennin, Ga. There ya go

I would think Mt. Lassen might be a good canidate for eruption. Maybe even Mt. Adams.

Wonder if this is msm stirring up fears so when something happens, or doesn’t, it will validate the end of fracking.
Fracking will either have caused it, or because it’s been banned no eruptions happened.

I lived in Eugene and Springfield before and left for Pennsylvania before Mt. St Helen blew. I remember the warnings to old Harry Truman at Spirit Lake. He said he didn't care, he wasn't leaving. I bet that was a hell of a ride.

I would think Mt. Lassen might be a good canidate for eruption. Maybe even Mt. Adams. You and I better hope it's not Shasta, which is still considered active. A tidbit from my college geology class. How true it is I just have to take for granted from the "expert", a professor and researcher. In the area a bit North/Northwest of the mountain, there is some really "bumpy" topography. Up near Lake Shastina. Apparently, from the story our class was told, geologist has some theories about what caused it, but nothing really certain. Until St Helen's blew. While studying the aftermath they were able to find very similar spots there after the side blew out. Being as how I'm only about 100 miles in a direct line from the peak, can see it from a couple of miles up the road. I'm hoping that big bish doesn't blow. Lassen for that matter either.

IIRC, there are three stages of volcanism: Active, Dormant, and Extinct. Active and Extinct are self-explanatory. Dormant means it hasn't erupted in a long time, but still might. The volcano on the island of Maui last erupted in the 17th century - and it is classified as Dormant. Let that be your scale of "what if".

It's hard to comprehend the size of Shasta unless you've climbed it, hiked on it or at least seen it in person. It's just absolutely titanic.

Aren't you on the other side of the mountain from Shastina?
Man you are going to have the best pics on the Fire ...

Wow, if they all went at once, would that not change the demographics of the Northern Leftist Coast? ![[Linked Image from upload.wikimedia.org]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fc/Cascade_Volcanic_Arc.jpg)

Growing up was always told the 3 sisters in Oregon were the ones to watch out for. Far as mt hood it all depends which way she blows. If it’s side explosion like St. Helens Portland is all but gone. If it blows towards Hood River I guess it potentially plug up the Columbia river. Bunch of what if’s

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

If people would only wear their masks this could be avoided. ROFLMAO
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

79S the Sisters Bulge was always news. I'm not certain but I think it has stopped expanding
