re: #128 teleskiguy

I’ve been up to Mt. St. Helens once, and it’s a most imposing sight, even all these years later. Half the mountain blasted away, trees for tens of thousands of acres blown down even now - and rivers/streams dammed up by the flows. When I was there, they were worried about the humpback, a new magma chamber rising through the mountain, and it steams and seethes even now.

And then I remember that Mt. Rainier is also an active volcano just 70 miles from Seattle/Tacoma, and if it goes, we’d see major destruction through the greater Sea/Tac region, including mudflows all the way to the hearts of these cities.
