First Time in 40 years.. Since 1980.. We May Have Another Volcano Situation on Our Hands.. Nap Time Appears to be Over

I Will be trying to find and link source sites with information and monitoring equipment..

Three new monitoring stations installed at Mount Hood
Release Date: NOVEMBER 13, 2020
These stations enhance the existing monitoring network at this high-threat volcano and improve the ability of CVO scientists and their partners to detect and provide warning of any changes in earthquake activity or ground deformation that may signal an increase in volcanic activity and a subsequent danger to people and property.

Mount Adams, known by some Native American tribes as Pahto or Klickitat, is a potentially active stratovolcano in the Cascade Range. Although Adams has not erupted in more than 1,000 years, it is not considered extinct. It is the second-highest mountain in Washington, after Mount Rainier.

It happened

20+ quakes on hood today, just in time for Wednesday!

What does EAT say?

Here's a site that has individual siesmometers for each volcano along the Pacific NW..

I'll bump this for ya icey.. It's all related

Good question.. him or Frankie would be nice to hear from on the topic.. Lol

I experienced Mt. St. Helens.
Dark for the Day. Ash 1/2 thick which
took weeks to clean up.

Weiners for days

Scientists are forecasting that the Pacific Northwest's most active volcano will erupt sometime between 2020 and 2024. The volcano isn't one you'll see driving along the Cascade Range, instead you'd have to look 1.5 miles deep in the ocean to find it.Dec 18, 2019


“One of the ways that volcanoes are monitored around the world is to look for changes in their shape, like if the ground is being uplifted or subsiding,” Chadwick said. “What you're interested in is [if] magma moving in or moving out or is it just slumbering?”

Axial Seamount has changed quite a bit over the last decades, with the surface gradually rising between eruptions, then suddenly dropping back down.

“It's erupted three times in the last 21 years. That’s more than Mount St. Helens and any of the volcanoes in our neighborhood. So it's gotten a lot of our attention and we're trying to learn as much from it as we can,” he said.

Axial Seamount is located along a divergent boundary, which is why the volcano is so active

Mt. Hood is the highest mountain in Oregon; the 4th highest in the string of Cascade Mountain Range volcanoes that stretch from Mt. Garibaldi in British Columbia south to Mt. Lassen in Northern California.

“Wy’East” is the American Indian name for Mt. Hood. (Mt. Adams was Klickitat and Mt. St. Helens was Loowit, and the Great Spirit was called Tyee Sahalie.)

Mt. Hood is a dormant or “sleeping” volcano, with steam constantly spewing from fumarole areas.

Recent eruptions (all minor): 1804, 1853, 1854, 1859, 1865, and 1907. Scientists believe Mt. Hood could have a significant eruption within the next 75 years. More Volcano Information at USGS

Eleven glaciers grace Mt. Hood’s peak

Mount Hood (45.4N, 121.7W) is the tallest mountain in Oregon (11,237 feet, 3,426 m) and popular with skiers, hikers, and climbers. It is 45 miles (75 km) east-southeast of Portland, Oregon. Mount Hood is a stratovolcano made of lava flows, domes, and volcaniclastic deposits. Most of the volcano is andesite composition. The main cone of Mount Hood formed about 500,000 years ago. In the last 15,000 years the volcano has had four eruptive periods. During the most recent eruptive period, 250-180 years ago, lava domes collapsed and produced numerous pyroclastic flows and lahars which buried the southwest flank of the mountain. Crater Rock, a prominent rocky pinnacle just below the summit, is the most recent lava dome. Similar eruptions in the future pose the greatest risk to communities on the flank of the volcano.

Mount Shasta?

It's your 2012 caldera waiting to happen

Not particularly but I am curious of the origin

Cascade Range for certain.. But Shasta will be different because it'll be more violent..

If Shasta erupted, it could put people in harm's way in the towns of Mount Shasta, Weed Yreka and Dunsmuir. The eruption would be capable of producing pyroclastic flows or surges when they do erupt — fast-moving flows of hot ash, rock and gas sweeping down the sides of mountains.

MT Shasta last erupted in 1786

Cascade volcanoes have erupted in the recent past and will erupt again.
The time between eruptions is usually measured in decades or centuries, so eruptions are not a part of our everyday experience. However, recent eruptions at Mount St. Helens vividly demonstrate the power and impacts that Cascade volcanoes can unleash when they do erupt.

During the past 4,000 years, periods of eruptive activity at various Cascade volcanoes have lasted for a few to tens of years per century. Locate the volcano closest to you by visiting the map on our home page. Seven Cascade volcanoes have erupted since the beginning of the eighteenth century. Some of those eruptions would have caused considerable property damage, economic disruption, and loss of life if they had occurred today without warning:

Mount Baker–1843, steam blast, ash fall, debris avalanche
Mount St. Helens–1980, catastrophic collapse/eruption, 2004-04, lava eruption
Mount Hood–1781, eruption, lahar flows to Columbia River

Not for a while yet, but before 2050--that's for sure.

OP, I have been monitoring the Cascadia Subduction Zone for a long time for personal reasons I don't care to disclose on this website. The Cascadia is waking up.

I hope all peeps that live in the areas at risk are paying attention. Be prepared and get right with God.
