Olympia is built mostly on tide flats. If Gregoire goes there, maybe she'll get washed away.
Glad I don't live in Tacoma! We use to look at the mountain from Shelton, and imagine what would happen if it blew....
I told my kids that all the activity on St. Helens could be a lead up to a Rainier awakening!
I will not rest easy, as I have relatives who live in the shadow of Mt. Baker! Any one of them could blow....
I just hope that doesn't send all those Washingtonians over here to Montana!
This is the volcano we were talking about recently, the one that concerns me and my neighborlings more than St. Helens.
Thank goodness I can go back to fretting over the volcano. Now that the election is over, I was afraid I wouldn't have anything else (close to home) to worry about.
Excuse Me . . .
It is. Happens all the time. Do a history search of the webicorders at Longmire and Paradise and you'll see.
Hmmm...if the immediate West Coast fell into the Pacific, how would that effect the electoral college? :-)
Seattle is San Francisco-lite.
Anyone else see the weird cloud formation next to Mt. Rainier today?
I wonder...if the Three Sisters blow, will that be a trigger for Yellowstone? The Three Sisters would look like a roman candle compared to a Yellowstone eruption.
No kidding! Thanks alot for reminding me of that!
The Lord has had it with the Greenies! (Just kidding.)
And it looks like lahars are the big concern with Rainier?
Still have 3 jars of that ash that we picked up from our yard in Spokane. Cool for show 'n tell for the grandkids.
Stop your cha-cha right now!
LOL, tuckrdout...y'all up in beautiful Montana would be the lucky ones. We live right on the cusp of the so-called "kill zone". Always wanted to be buried up to my chest in ash! ;-)
Small quakes or brief swarms of quakes are routine at most Cascade volcanoes.
This doesn't particularly resemble anything at Mt. St. Helens prior to its eruption.
They're hundreds of miles apart.
Even Rainier and Mount Saint Helens, as far as volcanic arcs go, are fairly far apart. They do NOT share a common magma chamber.
Basically an immense amount of nonsense on this thread by people with an essentially non-existant knowledge of geology about activity being linked between distant volcanoes.
Err, as far as "volcanic arc volcanoes" go Mount Saint Helens and Rainier are fairly far apart.
