You're so right! I live near Crater Lake, which is my all-time favorite place. Many fond memories when I worked up there summer of 1978.

And dangerous. The whole state, plus Washington and parts of California are imports from other places. The actual coastline of the North American plate is at Idaho. Oregon and Washington in particular are made up of islands that floated in from the Pacific, and some came up from the Baja. This makes faultlines everywhere, prone to earthquakes, volcanoes, and don't forget tsunamis when the full rip 9.0 hits. Beautiful, yes. Prone to natural disasters, for sure. Oh, I guess I forgot the super volcano under Yellowstone. Sorry.

The scenery is beautiful...the PEOPLE are crazy!

Not all the people are crazy. Big differences in life in places like Portland and Salem and in the vast rural country side of Oregon.

@@barrym4079 Forgot Big Foot. LOL!

I grew up in the shadow of Mount Shasta and could see Mount McLoughlin and Goosenest volcanoes to the north and east. Took it all for granted and miss it every day.

Your right Zowie! It is a gorgeous place to live! There is so much beauty here it is breath taking everywhere you go! You should also put Crater Lake on your list! And Lava Beds National Monument a little farther south! Hope you make the trip someday as it would be one you would never forget!

I can often see Mt. St. Helens when I am driving here in Portland, Oregon. It is an amazing, enormous volcano with the top sheared off, its upper half covered with stunning white snow fields. I hope you can visit soon, and that you enjoy being on or next to the great mountain. It is less than an hour's drive from Portland, a fantastic city with so many worthwhile things to see and do.

Its cool . Some times i crawl through its belly. Il take you with if you want

If you want to see the Pacific coast of the U.S., there’s no time like...soon as you can. The entire region is just saving up to cut loose with some mad stuff. The Juan de Fuca plate is waiting to go full rip with a 9.0 quake off of Washington State’s coast, Mt. Ranier could do away with Seattle on “anybody’s guess” day, volcanoes in the rest of the Cascade range will cut loose at some point, there are faults besides the San Andreas waiting to twist and shout in SoCal. The whole thing could just rip loose from Baja to Alaska! Oops! Sorry. Guess I’ve been listening to too much of the breathless narration in the disaster videos.

Start your tour at the Southern most volcano of the cascades "Mt Lassen" in California. It last erupted in 1914 and is overdue. From Lassen all the way into Canada the volcano's are spectacular.

Yep...and don't forget Yellowstone is predicted to be HUGE. I was in Kelso,WA when St Helens blew. Ber affected.but being the prepared type it was more of an adventure for us. One more for our unusual life!!

You can answer my crazy question. What did the property owners do after this happened? Did y’all keep your places? I know all the devestated areas look like a park now. This is just something I’ve always wondered about. I live near the South Coast of Tx and have seen so much damage when hurricanes come through. Sometimes whole areas are just wiped. Their gone. A lot of times they sell out to the state.

True but apparently when everything happens, it will go off again.

It’s 2020

It's still there...

The dome inside the crater is rising significantly every year; it’s not over.

Theres been major activity since 2006, it's not quiet by any means bud.

No place does it in the lower 48 like the Pacific Northwest.

mt shasta has these freaky ufo clouds up it its so freakin trippy

I was born 5 years later and have never been to that area, and yet I’ve been fascinated all my life! It’s so beautiful, but terrifying - just as everything in nature is. I bet at 11 you were all over it, it’s a great age for it! Old enough to not be as scared, I hope. 🤍

I live in uk but watched it in inter national news. I love geology and vulcanology and would love to visit PNW and the Cascades they fascinate me .

Its hard to believe it's almost 40 years.

Hawaii is the best example of how you could avoid that type of “eruption”. Well that is until, as it, 2018?

You are correct. The thing is they need us to be afraid. This way they get more money.

geez, yeah, just looked into Rainier a bit. Yikes

Rule of thumb, every year a strato volcano ( Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Rainier as a few examples) the worse the eruption is. Are there exceptions to the rule? Absolutely. MSH was asleep for 123 years before it erupted. Rainier has been asleep for 2 or 300 years. If I'm not mistaken.

I saw it tv from Camp Pendleton

They've gained SO MUCH information since then, it's too out of date!

And it is going to be more interesting when more volcanoes start spewing ash into the atmosphere.

They mentioned pagers, lol. A whole decade of technology has passed since then.

Russell Brooks: This was originally broadcast in 2008, which makes it about 12 years old. About time for an up-date, don’t you think? My own biggest concern is Mt. Hood, or Wy’East, the closest to the Portland Metro Area...Having been here for St. Helens (and the months of ASH all over P-town afterwards), I’d really like to know if our other nearby Cascade volcano is at risk of eruption; and sure as heck hope not!

That's what I said about my last boyfriend. He's 15 years older than me, but still interesting... haha j/k

cool, i got some pics of it taken from a plane ride while it erupted any researcher want to see them let me know here send a message or let me know here i have like 50 or so. any resea

I remember him also.

Harry Truman was the man that had a resort on Spirit Lake. He refused to leave. Also had a news reporter gfor a TV station in Seattle that was on the north side of St. Helan that died in his van as trying to escape. It was my wedding anniversary and we in SW Port Orchard heard the explosion at 6:32 AM. WE WHERE ABOUT 1 1/2 hour drive from the mountain. Have couple kids from Seattle that gathered ash, placed it in vials, flew from Seattle to LA and sold the ash making a few hundred dollars or more. Ash from Montana made beautiful cut stones for jewelry. Made beautiful emerald cut stones and extract emerald colors.

Yep, and it's not the only one I've noticed since St Helens.

What happened in oregon last time it erupted?

Nature will go as it needs to. Evac plans only help with moderate disasters.

Active doesn't mean it's bound to explode at any minute. Volcano monitoring technology has come along ways since 1980 and we are much more able to predict when an eruption will occur.

gnomespace - Generally a large eruption will empty the magma chamber which will take decades to fill up again

gnomespace active doesn’t mean this lifetime..

Pardon me for being technical, but MSH didn’t “erupt” - it exploded. Yes, it ‘is’ still active, but it’s not likely to erupt, for one thing : the magma there is extremely thick and sluggish, nothing like Kilauea or Etna or Popocapetl, so an eruption of magma, while possible, is low-likelihood. Could it explode again? It will take a very long time for that to happen: it exploded because the gasses that seep out of the flanks are acidic, and over time, in combination with rain, the material making up the mountain *rots* - that is, it stops being solid rock. When that process has gone on long enough (and it gets wet enough), the sides of the mountain fail: the rock begins to flow. If you look closely at the video of the explosion, you can seen that just before it blows, that whole face of the mountain slid down (landslide); this release of pressure meant that the gas trapped inside was able to break free. Violently. In order for that sequence of events to re-occur, a very long time is needed for the pressure to build up again, and for the rock to rot again. Yes, it’s possible that another of the faces could fail, another landslide occur elsewhere on the mountain, but they will likely would not produce another explosion, as the throat is already exposed, by the 1980 event. There should still be video footage online (USGS) showing the time-lapse growth of the lava dome, which lets you see the slow oozing over time. Highly interesting. The biggest danger from MSH at this point is the glacier growing inside the caldera: roughly 5,000,000 dump truck full of ice. A catastrophic melt of the glacier could cause another devastating lahar, but there’s no reason to assume a catastrophic melt event in the foreseeable future. The other volcanoes in the Cascade range, however, are as susceptible to a sudden-depressurization landslide as MSH was 40 years ago, for the same reason. Baker, Hood, Rainier, Shasta, etc while not particular dangers at the moment could suffer similar slope failure. Whether a similar blow-out could occur, we really have no way of predicting, but it *could* happen. Yeah, I’ve actually spent some time on this

@@charliemoody7168 something's going on, its been having swarms in its area, every time a push from the pacific plate has come which also sets off earthquake swarms down the faults. And long valley and the Salton buttes have been having upward ground deformation. I'm not so sure it won't erupt again with another big one if everything else is set off

they most likely know

One would think they have thought of this, but you never do know?

Not lava, magma. Lava is magma that has been expelled onto the surface.

@@richr108 , works for me. People know what was meant

@@travisleeds2910 Lol that's rich 😂😂😂

I wouldn't say it's long overdue. I think earthquakes on that fault zone average one every 400 years or so. The last one was 320 years ago. So it could happen today, or in another few hundred years.

@@kirkpalmer1709 isn't it the other longer cycle one that is overdue by a margin?

They actually arnt really overdo at all. The media may tell you so, but actually scientific data shows that theres really only a small chance of a large earthquake happening off our coast any time soon

Overdue or not After this year, ANYTHING could happen!!!!

@@kirkpalmer1709 they meant the big one was overdue! it will be coming down in the Seattle area, sometime soon!

By 2004 the USGS was confident that enough signs then existed which allowed the prediction of a volcanic eruption. However certain expected signs of an impending eruption were not present such as harmonic tremors indicating moving magma. This was found, in retrospect, to be because of the composition and nature of the eruption that happened. Which was a shallow event driven resulting from deformation caused by the quakes rather than an injection of magma into the system.

Wait until Yosemite blows -- That's gonna be a killer.

Yes, but volcanoes can be sneaky. A lot of them are quiet for a while, then wake up with a sudden jolt.

Marc C Yosemite or Yellowstone?

Yeah,not so much. Suggest looking some actual plate tectonics - look up en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Australian_Plate for overview and the links are good. The Australian Plate - which,as the article says, seems to be breaking up into 3 plates in the last 3 million years is headed roungly NNW, basically towards southeast Asia, (into and under what's called the Sunda plate) the reason why the very active volcanoes and earthquakes in Indonesia exist. The Pacific - Australian Plate boundary is very complex but basically what happens is the rock of Pacific plate is denser than rock of the Australian and the Pacific is normally forced below the Australian. Any islands that are created along the boundary between the Pacific plate and Australian is created by this subduction. The volcanoes in the area where Mt St Helens is - called the Cascadia subduction zone is caused by 3 remnants of a former large plates which has almost been completely subducted under North america. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascadia_subduction_zone The processes of Plate tectonics at the plate boundaries can be quite complex to understand and describing them as "buckling" doesn't adequately describe quite complex processes. Though the resources on the internet are ok for a general sense but if you are interested in the subject suggest looking up Divergent boundaries, Convergent boundaries -subduction zone, and Transform boundaries. Sometime self driven study on this can lead to misinformation and would highly suggest contacting you nearest university's geology dept and seeing if they have public information sessions (obviously post any local virus lockdown) and you can get a lot valuable information from these. I don't have any formal earth science degree (though I did study some geology papers when went varsity) but know enough that the processes are reasonably hard to understand to the layman and though you seem to be interested in the subject you are picking up some incorrect information leading to some false impressions. Hope this helps. Good luck to you and yours.

Yup. As you say,you're not a scientist. Seafloor spreading produces plate movements. The spreading in the Cascades is produced by the small Juan de Fuca and Gorda plates. Drop into a geology or oceanography class to escape the schizophrenic mindset.

As much as I dislike and disagree with fracking, melting glaciers and icecaps are a much bigger danger. The reason is, all that meltwater finds its way to the sea. In doing so, the weight of that water shifts from polar regions, essentially depressing the ocean floor. We simply can’t guess what effect that may have on on the subduction zone, but we can’t rule out a destabilizing effect. I suspect the increase in volcano activity over the last dozen years can be at least partially attributed to the effect of that global shift in weight.

Fracking in the center of the continent? I don't think there is much fracking going on in the far West and it has nothing to do with volcanism and they don't cause serious earthquakes, only tiny local tremors. Real earthquakes are all about plates sliding against eachother which isn't remotely effected by any conceivable human activities.

These natural things were due to happen anyway (Matthew 24:7, KJV). There is no fracking in South Carolina, but they had a big earthquake in 1886.

Probably going to set a a chain reaction off

Don't know if this was mentioned, but I wonder when any of the major fault lines go (Cascadia, San Andreas, or New Madrid), if it'll affect it?

Fortunately, Yellowstone erupts far less often.

@@wolfsnite8274 Yes but it’s not a matter of if. It’s a matter of when. Yellowstone will erupt again, we just don’t know when.

Way cool! I worked with a hiker guy who made it to the summit just weeks before Mt. St. Helen's blew. A tender man he was - he cried!!

I agree with this comment! Thankyou for releasing this info anyway!

"Prediction"? That can be done with the weather, but not with geology. China bragged that they had "forecast" the Haicheng Earthquake (February 4, 1975). It turned out to be a lucky fluke. Tangshan was almost totally destroyed a year later, but nobody saw that coming (July 28, 1976).

This is a news report from nearly twenty years ago. Don’t know how they could give us current info

Not old regarding GPS tech as well as the equipment their using and the video quality

The eruption was in 1980, the newer tremors were in 2004 and the documentary was first aired in 2008.

Mid to late 2000s. Mt St Helens has been quiet since about 2005/2006. Scientists are now able to go right up into the crater to personally inspect the growing glacier in the crater - albeit very very carefully.

Yellowstone is far from silent. Constant geological activity there.... In fact the ring of fire volcanos are far more likely to cause deaths in the next century than yellowstone which they say may have actually slid past the main geological hot spot already and will just take thousands of years to cool off...but who knows. Just dont hang out when giant earthquakes start.
