Mt. Rainier is always rumbling

Mt. Rainier in Washington State is an active volcano. The mountain is under seismic watch 24/7 because an eruption would devastate the Pacific Northwest.
There is frozen water the volume of an ocean covering Mt. Rainier and an eruption would instantly turn all that ice into water rushing down the sides of the mountain at 100 miles per hour in all directions.

For now the mountain is beautiful. But in a seismic event, Mt. Rainier could completely change the topography of the Pacific Northwest - and the clock is always ticking!

I'm guessing, the way the country is headed, some will welcome the eruption.

Rainier isn't the only volcano in the Northwest that we need to be concerned about :eek:

Yep. Mt. St. Helens is still a "fresh" memory for those of my generation. It was shocking, far more than any hurricane's aftermath on the Gulf Coast, or the terrible floods that occurred on the Mississippi around then, or the California earthquakes.

There had not been anything like it in the 20th century in the U.S., and certainly not in color.

The two-page spread photo in National Geographic of peach trees in bloom before a pyroclastic flow was stunning. It is as indelible as the photo of the Trade Towers in flames"

That range is a ticking bomb. And if Ranier isn't the culprit, Hawaii may be with the prospect of a runout landslide on their east coast that will flood thee entire Northwest coast.

I recall visiting Mt. St. Helens about 10 years after the eruption. The Park Service had just completed the visitors center; and, the new growth forests lining the lower altitudes of the mountain were, IIRC, upwards of 6 or 7 feet in height. It was just amazing the amount of growth recovery from such devastation :=D:

The documentaries about eruptions creating islands or just ongoing island eruptions usually show the rebounding of life, or its progress on new land.

In this case, more creatures and seeds survived the eruption and ash than we would imagine.

Of course, Mt. St. Helens is still active, so everything nearby may be living on borrowed time.

The film of that side of the mountain collapsing was stunning. I don't believe a blowout of that scaled has ever been filmed before or since.

Western Washington is land formed by the volcanic outflow from Mt. Rainier.
That means cities like Seattle, Everett, Tacoma and Olympia are located on what used to be part of the Pacific Ocean.

Let's hope the large eruptions were hundreds of thousands of years ago, if not millions.

Across the State there is geologic evidence that tectonic events on a scale the modern world has never experienced did happen in the distant past.
There are so many things I learned about Washington State AFTER my big move in 1980.

I am fully prepared! I have an old bottle of Madeira, ready for the ultimate emergency!
