Thank you for having accurate graphics and video of the PNW volcanos. I appreciate that.

Eruption for Mt. Rainier is not the real problem, it’s the Lahar or mudflows and these can happen even without a ‘boom’. There are areas down stream in the Lahar flow paths such as Puyallup River valley that have warning systems similar to how many costal regions have tsunami warning systems.

Cool to see a vid on this. I’m a local radio news reporter in SW Washington and grew up in one of the closest towns to St. Helen’s.

I grew up in the Seattle/Tacoma area. My very first memory is the Mt St Helens eruption. I vividly remember going into our backyard and everything being covered in ash. I was really little so I thought that it was snow.

I watched Mt St Helens erupt on May 18th, 1980. I was driving through Portland with my mother and my sister. As we headed east I could see the black ash billowing up above the smog from the factories along the river and below the clouds.

People keep forgetting about Mt. Baker. While relatively quiet now, in the 70s when I was a kid, it was the mountain everyone thought was going to erupt. Steam vent eruptions were a common occurrence and despite this we still went camping in the forests up there. It was likely this complacency of years of mild activity on Baker that amounted to nothing that led to so many people not taking the danger posed by the activity at Mt. St. Helens serious.

I've watched a bunch of your videos and i think this is the best one yet. Very entertaining.

I can clearly see Mt Hood and Mt St Helens from my boat.

My dad's a geology professor and was concerned when I moved to Portland yrs ago and while I've toured Pompeii and saw the level of destruction, It's the catastrophic earthquakes that will really wreck the PNW.

Mt Baker would like a word with you Geoff !!!

I was always fascinated with this stuff. I lived in Montreal,Canada as a kid and after watching a movie about a a new hotel built near a dormant Volcano, since it was a disaster film. It wasn’t dormant for long. I always had this scary dream that Mount Royal would erupt. And let me tell you it was vivid. Ever since I’ve been interested in geology and volcanology as a casual hobby. That would make a good disaster film Mount Royal erupting,despite its geological status. 😮

Aloha from Kailua Kona. Kilauea did erupt in 2022. It went off during Mauna Loa eruption in November- December.

Not bad, despite some repetitiveness. This at least avoids many common clickbait exaggerations. It would also be helpful to note that, with the prevailing winds blowing west to east, it’s not likely that Seattle or Portland will be seriously affected by ash fall from any of the currently active volcanoes. Lahars, in contrast, could be a significant problem for the big metropolitan areas. Even so, it should be made clear that even the largest potential lahars from Mt. Rainier would be unlikely to bury significant populated portions of Tacoma or Seattle by the time they reached those cities. Instead, their primary hazard to the great cities on Puget Sound would be to port facilities, especially with the clogging of shipping channels in the Puyallup and Duwamish estuaries. The greatest risk to human life from big Mt. Rainier lahars would be in areas closer to the mountain that have been deeply buried in recent geologic history, such as Enumclaw, Sumner, and Puyallup. Those sites were, for example, inundated in the Osceola Mudflow off Mt. Rainier some 5,600 years ago.

The video is titled "Mount Rainier", but it really isn't about Rainer. (he spends less than 2 minutes talking about Rainer) Here's what he should have said: The first thing to note is that Mount Rainer hasn't actually erupted in a long, long time. Its last major eruption was over 500 years ago, and the last time there was even any activity seen (just a bit of smoke coming out) was in the mid 1800s. That's actually part of the reason WHY it's now so dangerous. People don't (generally) build big cities right next to actively erupting volcanoes, but the last time this one erupted was before the USA was even a country. A bunch of people have since built cities & towns near it, and a bunch of those cities/towns are right in the path geological records show the flows coming off it will go... In the video he did mention Lahars, and those are what would cause the big problems with Rainer. See...Rainer is big. It's the 5th tallest point in the contiguous US, and it's absolutely massive. And on top of it sits about 2 dozen major glaciers, that have many times more ice in them than all the other Cascade volcanoes do combined. If/when Rainer does erupt, a whole lot of that ice is going to melt...and records show its path of least resistance is going to send a lot of it toward the Puget Sound. Seattle won't really be affected, comparatively, because it's too far north. Tacoma (250k pop) and Puyallup (50k pop) however, as well as a bunch of other small towns, are smack dab in the flow zones. Hundreds of thousands of people live in potential lahar flow zones. It won't be lava or ash that will cause the devastation. It's going to be a dozen glaciers worth of ice melting causing trees to get crushed, mud and rocks to get swept up along with all manner of debris, and sending it all screaming down one of the largest mountains in the US and into some very urban areas. Lahars coming off Rainer could reach 50-100 feet in height and be moving upwards of 50mph. Now imagine something like that just rolling into (onto?) your town... Mt. Rainer is actually considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world, not just the US. It's what's known as a Decade Volcano, because it's on a list of the 16 most potentially devastating volcanoes being studied in the world. The only other one in the US is Mauna Loa, in HI. The good news is it's not showing any signs it's going to erupt next week or something. The bad news is it's acting much like it's acted for many thousands of years, which means that it's really more a "when" it erupts again than an "if". How devastating it will end up being will probably depend a lot on how many more people move into the danger zones for it before it does...

I remember Mount St Helen's erupting. It was my 9th birthday when 'Newsround' the BBC news programme for children announced a volcano had erupted in Washington as a child in Oxford I thought it was in Washington DC. Since Middle school geography really only focused on physical geography and nations and capitals.

Lassen county locals are less worried about the volcano & just dreading the annual forest fires every summer.

Most likely St. Helens . I personally think clear lake volcano is next most likely to erupt after St Helens . But nobody really knows. It could be a volcano in Idaho or New Mexico cause that's just how unpredictable volcanoes are.

I grew up on the peninsula. They told us as early as elementary school that we were overdue by 50 years for a bad quake. Mt. St. Helens wasn't enough. So the longer it went without mid-sized quakes, the more danger we would be in. Add in how much military activity we have and have always been in the top ten areas in the US to be bombed, it is hard to determine what will doom us first. I love the geography, don't get me wrong.

Areas most at risk from the volcanoes have well established and marked evacuation routes. Many of us have risks from tsunamis as well and have well marked tsunami evacuation routes. A major part of downtown Seattle is below sea level, so there's always risks.

"Home Sweet Explosions and Earthquakes!" Mt.St Helens was on another level I was seven and thought the world was ending.

I've been baffled why Rainer has been so quiet when St. Helens has been repeatedly active in recent memory.

You could include Mount Baker which is also in Washington state but that would threaten Vancouver and you are only worried about American cities.

It wouldn’t reach Vancouver.

I live in a small town that is right at the bottom of the foot hills of Mt Rainier. If she blows I am not in a good location so lets hope it doesn't wake up any time soon. I remember Mt St Hellens quite well even though I was only 5 at the time. I lived in this same town back then too.

Glacier Peak is another that is being closely monitored by seismologists. I believe it too is expected to have large lahars.

Why wasn't Mt. Baker, near Bellingham, WA mentioned?

You didn’t mention Mt Baker which I had always thought was considered active

It is, this guy decided to repeat the same stuff instead of including Baker.

Missed one mt baker also active today

"Kea" in "Mauna Kea" is two syllables. I pronounce it kay-uh. I have spent several months of my life in total on the summit of Mauna Kea (and sleeping down at the 9000ft level), professionally. Also, I have always heard Haleakala pronounced differently. It starts out like "Hall"

What's with Mount Baker? Extinct?

Nope, she's active. 😊

In 1980 when Mt. St. Helen blew there was ash in Denver for three days!

He lists 3 of the 17 Cascade volcanos, 13 are in the US.

You forgot Mt. Baker. That one is actually more scary than Rainier. Especially because it isn't instrumented as well as the other major peaks.

Thank you

I get to see Mt. Rainier every day. It’s beautiful

I see Mt Hood on my commute to work and on my way home. I keep wait to see it blow! I doubt it will happen in my lifetime, but you never know! Mt St Helens erupted around the time I was conceived, so I barely missed that one.

Mt. Rainier is so large that you are capable of seeing it from over 200km away in Victoria, BC

5:12 seeing that ash pileup in Ritzville is wild, 200 miles away

i love watching Mt. Baker steaming... happens often.
