BREAKING: USGS pressing for expansion of lahar detection sites around Mount Rainier | |
| Volcano awakening User ID: 79519309  France10/21/2020 06:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | USGS pressing for expansion of lahar detection sites around Mount Rainier Officials from the U.S. Department of the Interior and United States Geological Survey have been touring sites in Mount Rainier National Park this week. They’re looking at five new locations where upgraded monitoring stations will soon enhance detection of lahars. There’s also a proposal to add another 12 lahar monitoring stations in the park, to complete an expansion they say will put detection at Rainier on par with other high-threat volcanoes in the region, such as Mount St. Helens. Lahars are potentially devastating high-speed mudslides that are triggered by volcanic activity, as heat from inside the cone heats up snow and ice. The expansion will add real-time capability to collect and transmit seismic, acoustic, visual and physical data, so that accurate warnings could go out as soon as worrisome activity is detected. "In the case of earthquakes, we have literally hundreds of sensors that allow us to get a very good signal. And that’s why we’re pushing right now to get these installations out on Rainier as quickly as possible,” U.S. Geological Survey Director Jim Reilly said while touring the park. (Less that 50%)   |

| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 79519309 France10/21/2020 07:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yep saw that this morning: M 2.5 - 16 km NE of Kalama, Washington II DYFI Time 2020-10-20 21:36:58 (UTC) Location 46.113°N 122.691°W Depth 13.7 km This is what i was talking about yesterday in another thread, i was expecting seismic activity around the volcanoes region, here it is, i believe mount Rainier is about to erupt, how much time ? i don't know, but the pacific plate shift is feeding pressure underneath the region, so they're could be a surprise. Those that dwell close to the volcano, should seriously prepare a bug out plan. |

| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 79519309 France10/21/2020 09:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Depending on the wind direction, an eruption of Mt. Rainier could (would) be 10 times more devastating than Mt. St. Helens. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18340749 I believe smoke plumes would show up first at Mt St Helen's crater before Rainier would erupt, depends on the intensity of the incoming lava pressure building up thru the plate. |
