Crazy read....weird that there's been tons of small quakes effecting these areas! Think this is something important to think about? It's been said the odds of an eruption in the next 30 years are estimated at between 3 and 7 percent. Thinking about a possible eruption it's very unlikely Mt Hood will erupt soon. Is it a good idea to be mindful of a possible eruption?
 
First hell than when it solidifies and cools down maybe hood will get an epic volcanic induced winter/ash combo that crushes it

7% is actually kind of scary. One large enough earthquake, and the chance of and eruption could get much larger.

I'm saying! Like there's less then a 1 in 10 chance In the next 30 years but every earth quake would scare me lol when I'm out there if I feel a big earthquake im getting down the mountain as fast as possible! It's also sketchy cus the entire ring of fire has been a lot more active especially together!
 
If it exploded while you're on the mountain you would get so much air time and you'd probably never touch the ground again so always be ready to throw some crazy stunts. #perks
 
Ok lets shed some light here, 1. St. helens has had over 230 in the last month. Mt.hood has had over 140 in the last 2 weeks. 12 today, Mt. Rainer over 50 this month, Papau New guinea was hit with a 6.7 4 days ago, Chile 6 days ago a 6.9.

4 nights ago while I was in timberline lodge Working at 12:45 at night two 2.9s hit just by pucci and in between tline and meadows It made the walls rattle and could hear and feel it.

What does this mean? that the earth is shifting and things are cracking, its when the faults rupture and magma pushes inbetween the cracks causing further stress and quakes along the fault line. Mt. Hood has two types of mixing magma in it, Hot magma That is on the bottom that mixes with the cooler mellow magma up above creating an oozing type lava. What that does is create Crater rock on mt. hood which is a large lava dome.

Take a cup of milk put a straw in it and blow. it will bubble up smoothly and roll over the glass, now do that with a milkshake and you will get large chunks of shake flying around you, Now if you put warm milk into the milkshake it thins out and goes back to the gradual bubbles with less chunks. this is the same concept of the volcano bulging and venting continuously. Mt. Hoods lower magma is hotter than the above magma mixing just enough to create an ooze. The chances of it exploding are slim but possible in our lifetimes.

I have watched the earthquakes on the usgs live map daily for the last 5 months. This is pretty standard and most of these quakes are happening 3-6 miles below ground level or further.

That is crazy that you felt one of those. I've been looking at the map and know that I was right over the epicenter of a few but never felt a thing. I heard that people usually can't feel quakes under 3.0 but I think that must be subjective. I've slept through a few big ones. One time my mom woke me up saying we were getting bombed and I didn't believe her until I saw how big the quake was on the news.

I'm operating under the assumption that Hood will have another big event that reshapes the mountain and that it could happen in my lifetime. My Dad pretty much spent his childhood at Spirit Lake and then one day boom it was gone. It's just the reality of the great northwest, the terrain we love is the obvious aftermath of cataclysmic events and nothing is really static.

That's actually pretty sick in a way. Aside from the devastation that would come out of an eruption, the thought of skiing the same mountain and being on entirely new terrain is kind of awesome.

Yeah there are two sides to every coin I guess. I never went to St. Helens before it blew and I think it is currently a pretty cool place. Dad obviously was really emotionally attached to it though and the eruption was/is a big deal to him. I think he has only been back twice just to drive by and the first time wasn't until the 90's.Lately Mom has tried to talk him into climbing it again (I guess he used to climb Adams and St. Helens before I was born) but he is over 70 so I don't know if he will ever go back to the top.

I'm trying to keep an open mind so hopefully I won't take it as hard if something drastic happens to Hood.

Back in 3rd grade I remember our computer monitors shaking, then I remember one a year or so before St. Helens last little episode I was in 6th grade and I remember walking down the hallway and seeing the floor do a little wave it felt nuts. then in 7th I believe was when St. Helens spewed some ash out and It came 88 miles away Within 2hours and sent us all home cause the ground was turning grey from the volcanic ash. Still have some in a jar somewhere.

The one up at tline sounded like someone was dragging a heavy table on the floor next to you and heard a decently loud bang, few of us were like wtf was that 10 minutes later another one hit and I was down in the maintenance shop and felt the ground rumble a little and wrenches on the walls clanked a couple times.

these events are extremely normal As a fault cracks it weakens further along and just continues to fall apart or grind together making more small quakes. now if the mtn starts to bulge we should worry a little bit but For me living 13 miles or some shit like that from the summit I just assume that If it goes with no warning boom bye guys Im gone lol.

The real thing to look at is how This year there has been multiple Rises in eco system changes. The earth is a living thing and it will maintain homeostasis some can argue that its natural disaster and extreme calamities that keep the earth in balance by wiping out the things that are harming it. blah blah blah what I am getting at is that there is a Large increase more so than any in the last 300 years across the entire ring of fire over the last 6 months or so. Larger and more frequent quakes are occuring and the west coast is about 180 solid years over due for a big quake. I would say 80% of the Ring of fire has had some huge quakes and been very tragic. It is bound to happen to us out here. I feel like the Mtn and faults are going to go at the same time and just wreck the west coast maybe in 5 years maybe in 500 who knows.

Holy shit, I'm learning stuff on NS!

You make this stuff sound much more interesting than my bland-ass teachers do.

haha thanks man it always interested me! That Dave Crockett video above is gnarly as all get out. The amount of sulfur ash in the air would be like trying to shove a sweatshirt in your face and start sprinting up hill ha.

He actually thought he was dead, in the afterlife. That's inane. The pitch black nothingness must really mess with the mind. I can't imagine those emotions... am I in heaven or hell?
