cross-post from the Panasonic forum... this is the sleeping giant we live with here in the Puget Sound area of Washington. it's considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world because of its history and its proximity to now-densely populated areas. from where this was taken, about 50 miles away, it seems benign enough, but if the lid came off and the wind was blowing the wrong way...
of course, it can be deadly even without volcanic activity... they just recovered the bodies of 2 climbers who were killed on the mountain when a freak storm blew up. they died of exposure.... |

Hi Squirl033
what is the attraction to live so close beside a powder barrel? Are 50 miles far away not safe enough? Otto |
