I have a feeling that this is going to be bigger then they're thinking. I sure wish I was out there to see it. I have always had a large fascination of Volcanoes. I guess growing up around them will do that. Plus when Helen cleared her throat last time I was 5-6 yrs ols and woke up to about a 1/4" of ash. It was crazy. I went to visit family up north around Portland and Vacouver about 2 months later and it was sooo crazy how much ash there was. They had piles all over the place that were HUGE. It was like they stained the Oregon Dunes and moved them inland.

Anyways, I wish I were there. I do think that it's odd that there was a quake in Cali, Helen started acting up, a volcanoe in Mexico went off and one in Italy all within 3 days. And all the Hurricanes too. The weather and stuff is getting crazy.

I hope our Mother hasn't decided to take us out for being bad....

Does seem to be an odd coincidence, all of the weather changes lately....

Just like they're predicting in "Day After Tomorrow"

ehh....the world's goin down the pooper anyway.....maybe we can get a cool fireworks show out of it hahaha

really this doesnt seem to out of the norm to me, I dont personally know the fault lines but it's quite possible that helens the quake in cali and the mexico cano are all related, I do know there's daily quakes in cali though, all the time so it's not that strange for me to hear

The San Andreas Fault line isn't really part of the subduction plate that the Cascade mountain range shares. This is why So Cal has so many more earthquakes of apparent magnitude, in relation to us. Our fault lines are far deeper, and don't move as much, thus we don't "see" the kind of activity as So Cal.

This is why some believe most of So Cal will eventually become an island, while the rest of the west coast, up to the Cascade Range, will be underwater.

Been a while since I took geology in college, but it was a very interesting course that I would easily take again.

I have lots of Leftover ash from the previous may 18 1980 eruption. I was in Spokane at the time and was 8 myself. If you feel the need, I will mail you some and you can sprinkle it on yourself for effect.

I don't think this one will be big, but a big one is coming.

We are entering the 2nd circle of hell-ens.

I dunno about this one.. I'm kinda excited, actually. I guess it's just me and my disaster fetish.. I personally would like to see something go up in smoke, or get melted by liquid hot mag-ma!

Another disaster fetished individual .....I think steve and I had a similar discussion about disasters, end of the world type stuff in another thread some time ago

Yeah, there are too many people.

A new screenplay idea plays like a sort-of heterosexual couple Thelma & Louise, but at the end they flee to an evacuated coastal city to sit on the beach and wait for a huge tidal wave that's supposed to engulf the east coast (I read about some fear mongering sensationalist story about a volcano off Africa that could blow and knock half the mountain into the ocean, creating this 300 ft or so tidal wave that could take out the eastern US). Thought it would be an interesting touch. Eh, I'll never write it.

The ash from today's erruption has been blowing my way, I thought I could smell it...

What does it smell like?

Steve

burning?


My mom and her partner are located in Olympia. That's my only reservation to hoping it's a huge eruption, though if it got bad, i'd make them come up and stay with me.

It's sort of hard to describe the smell of the ash, but it sort of smells like sand with the slight smell of a forest fire. The only reason I know the smell, is from smelling ash deposits on Geomorphology field trips...

A while back when the rockies were burning, a whole cloud of ash and smoke came across and settled on east Denver. Naturally, it smelled like a campfire, and made me wish I was camping. Couldn't do anything active outside though, as I just started choking and coughing.
