Got to visit St. Helens in 2012 and looked south at the mountain from the observatory.

It was like gazing down the barrel of God's shotgun.

That’s the one that reminds me of a nuclear detonation.

When a mountain is growing by over a foot a day, my instincts are to run away as quickly as possible. (drive, really)

We probably should dispatch Hank Johnson to the town of Volcano, HI to monitor the impending capsizing of the lower east coast. Those arriving FEMA people certainly will cause a disturbance in the balance of the island.

My Brother in law lives on the North side of the island + texted me back after I asked how it felt: “...I was driving in our Jeep + it felt like people were jumping up + down on the bumper...”

Wait, wasn’t it a Guam legislator that worried about people on the island causing it to tip over?

My sis lives in the area. This big quake scared the hell out of her. This only got serious 2 days ago. Leilani estates now has magma in 3 places. Happening fast. She says emergency shelters are surprisingly disorganized right now and being overwhelmed by the homeless bums trying to score.

Locals are very good about taking care of each other, and they have had 2 big disasters there in about 4 yrs, so they are used to it. Hurricane and lava scare two yrs ago.

Shakin’ and Bakin’ on the Big Island


They gave such a silly title to their thread I didn’t know what it was about and bother to open it. I am glad someone else posted the information or I wouldn’t have known where to read about it.
