Geno Aren't you on the other side of the mountain from Shastina? Man you are going to have the best pics on the Fire ... Oh yea, about 100 miles due East. But with prevailing winds, I'll get to see the 'splosion a few hours before we all choke to death and get buried like them Italian folks. Maybe it catches me on a sourdough rye day and that gets mummified too! Oven spring!

Wow, if they all went at once, would that not change the demographics of the Northern Leftist Coast? I didn't realize there were that many so close to me lol. I remember Mt St Helen's going off, we had quite abit of ash falling, even here.

So how powerful are they? This lava rock is in so. central Idaho, about 20 miles north of Ketchum. It's approx 6' in diameter so it's got some weight to it. It's sitting on a low granite ridge. The nearest old volcano is more than 50 miles away in a straight line. That's a long toss. Most of Idaho's volcanoes were the kind that poured out rivers of lava resulting in thousands of square miles of lava beds. This one obviously came from an explosion but most were very unlike the Cascade ones. Sheesh! That is incredible!

Correct. The OP must be too young to remember the one where the whole side of the mountain blew off - what was the name of it? Mt. St. Helen's, maybe? Yep. May 18, 1980.....I remember that Sunday morning well. . I remember it like it was yesterday. Have Cousins in Yakima, they had several inches of ash on the ground, it was like driving on ice. It turned dark in the middle of the afternoon. I won a lottery for the first 50 People to fish Spirit Lake after the eruption 5 years later.
Due to the increased price of ammo, don't expect a warning shot...

I remember it also, was in Lewiston Idaho taking my soon to be wife to the movie theater for an afternoon show. After the movie we went out to the parking lot, it was dark and looked like it was snowing. City road maintenance used snow plows to clear the roads. Had to change air filters in the vehicles every time doing an oil change and several times in between, for a long time.

I can only imagine that it would fragment on impact . That said, it would be easy enough for the locals to verify without need of a geologist.

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 itβs 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 ifβs Around here itβs Glacier Peak they say is more concern than Rainier but Rainier has a ton of people in its path.

andesitic strato volcanoes are mean mfkers, got that big solid βcum plugβ that lets pressure build and build, then it lets loose like a retard on prom night Experience?

Lassen, Shasta, Hood.......
It will all fail in comparison to a properly placed Juan De Fuca or San Andreas event.
A Juan De Fuca event in particular wipes out everything west of I-5 in Washington, and possibly everything in the area up to 200' above sea level.

Lots of eruptions are just drops in a bucket perhaps taking out a few cities and towns. Krakatoa (1883 I think) was a pretty serious deal with the initial shock waves making 7 or 8 passes around the globe. Seems recording barometers were the vogue thing among the wealthy in Europe at that time, and they recorded the pressure spikes as they repeatedly circled the earth.
Still, for those in the immediate area, even the small ones are significant. I got to venture into the Spirit Lake area a couple months after St Helens blew. The surgical nature of the pyroclastic flows was amazing. Old growth timber, blasted free of bark, all down, and oriented in the same direction was hard to understand when a stand 5 yards to the right appeared untouched, erect, and healthy. There were places where the forest and its underlying soils were heaved over the horizon. As we approached the mountain from the east, there were several view points where I would have confidently placed myself to watch the eruption. Had one indeed been there, no sign of him would have ever been found.
Indeed, Mother Nature can be a bitch, and it seems it's always the government's fault when she unwinds.
If I elect to occupy a flood plain, coastal sand dune, or a volcanic slope, it was my own undoing. How far was that location you mention from the mountain?

The Mt St Helens area is still quite a sight, especially for flatlanders.

No idea how far it was to anything resembling an old volcano, but it was at least 50 to 75 miles. That's one heck of a shotput throw.

I ran across this thing while hunting and it's very out of place sitting where it is. It's porous lava and there's no other lava for many miles. It's possible that it's final placement was by a glacier but it's only about 5 miles from here to the top of a 10k ridge. It still would have to have been tossed 40 to 50 miles and over that ridge. There was a lot of old volcanic activity in Idaho but most was in the flat desert. This is in the high mountains.
