Vulcanism is alive and well in the Cascades...

i, too, was there when it blew. i was around 7 years old then. the ash came down in my home town of pullman near WSU.

You lived in Pullman? Oh, so sorry to hear that man.

Meh. I lived in Vancouver, WA in 1980. What Mt. St. Helens did then (and is doing now) is normal for the Cascade Range. I think it's beautiful.

Sorry to hear what happened to him, or just the simple fact that he lived in pullman?

Since the subject of super volcanos have now come up, it gets rather interesting about their relative rarity. But human geneticists had long known that the human species should have more genetic diversity than we do---its almost like the entire human race are all desended from just a small handfull off ancestors about 64,000 years ago.

Which guess what--is almost the same age as the last super volcano going off in Togo.

So don't worry if some Cascade range volcano goes off and eats Seattle& Portland--it probaly won't kill us all.

So BoomerD--by all means move to Cody---its highly unlikely--but remotely possible that you can receive that free--and very deep burial----and make sure some greedy funeral director does not get a dime from your surviving family members.

"In fact, the last VEI 7 eruption was in Toba, Indonesia, 74,000 years ago, and it caused such global cooling that some scientists think it nearly drove humans to extinction."
