Mt Rainier Theory

[MrFebruarysixth]

i live in puyallup. and when it happens, i'm gonna light my bong. (;

[Chokingonlifesavers]

dang it! and i just got a new house and everything...

[REYDERthetruthseek3r]

I just moved to orting! Do i have any hope?

[DeathbeastGregar]

@REYDERthetruthseek3r Orting is one of the towns closest to Mt. Ranier so... if any seismic activity were to occur. get ready!

[cowgirl17931]

@REYDERthetruthseek3r  I live in ORting....... We have like 16 min to get out of doge. Sorry but no hope. The roads will be blocked with kids running up the hill on foot. 162 will be jammed.

[phunkytown20]

theres only one part of tacoma that will get affected, that is downtown tacoma

[SecularTechnology]

@phunkytown20

Yeah, the whole US would be covered in an Ash cloud though.

[madpaintbalerx]

I'm glad I live north of Seattle :P

[ItsTimothy]

@madpaintbalerx me too. i live in stanwood

[SprayedSharpie]

[eromulus]

Lets Bring it On!!!,Tahoma!!!

[serialkiller2476]

You have been warned 2012

[BIGTEE1471]

i did some reasearch, pretty much everything in the valley is gone, there are two major rivers that run from rainier, i know one is Green River, the other is the Puyallup river...the lahars from the last blast made the valley what it is today so in saying that Orting is the first to go, then Sumner, auburn, kent, most of Renton, the 167 corridor would not exist anymore....most of downtown Puyallup would disappear also

[TeresaG310]

@BIGTEE1471 great i live on downtown puyallup

[TeresaG310]

@BIGTEE1471 would it be safe in bonney lake?

[Rudeboi253]

It seems lile people have forgotten that Mt Rainier is on a big fault line and never mind that it is in a easy few hour distance from the puget sound... So yea ash is bad and the toxic cloud is to but there WILL be massive flooding and also this volcano has the ability to awaken a super volcano....and we DO NOT WANT THAT the 2012 theory is a glimpse of what could happen with a supervolcano... but imnot paranoid just did a report on this back in high school..

[SNAFUHaVoC]

@Rudeboi253 An eruption of Rainier could not possibly trigger a 'supereruption' (I assume you are talking about the Yellowstone caldera here). Yellowstone and Rainier are on completely different tectonic settings with completely separate magma sources and there is no relationship between them whatsoever (unless their stress fields are in some way interacting - there is no evidence for this).

You did a high school project, I am currently studying postgrad volcanology. There is no need to panic.

[blackberryjuice1]

You don't wanna know.

[darkshadow092]

i'm probably save in Bellevue

[blackberryjuice1]

You live in Bellevue and you can't spell "safe"?

[wolfstev76]

if you are interested in finding out, do some research checking out geological maps of where the lahars have been in the past and you'll see if your town is in one of them. You'll know if the next blast will get ya. Tacoma will certainly go, most of Seattle. Don't forget the ash that gets dumped as well. Yeup, pretty much screwed if your here for the next blast.

[Mcdannyboy15]

dude i heard about the doomsday theory of 2012 and i live in puyallup so im fucked

[wolfstev76]

yeah, won't lie to ya man...you're a gonner :-)

[LosAngeleno1959]

@Mcdannyboy15 What about the South Hill Mall?. Maybe it will survive.. They have good coffee there.

[nickster2230]

I'm in lakebay, will i die? :s

[supasuke]

If you live in like Olympia, you won't be affected badly. I live in the South Hill area a few miles away from Puyallup. Tacoma and Seatlle will get some of it, though.

[VoilaMsViola]

Yay, I'm from Tacoma - I'd be gone in an instant. :)

[Dingdong045]

renton

[JETZcorp]

I live in Portland, so I'd probably survive the eruption 100% unharmed. Now, if Mt. Hood decides to go nuts, I might have more of a problem. It's a pretty quiet mountain, though.

[Vorash2002]

I live on the hill above the Auburn valley. But I work down in the valley so Im fucked. Lol

[KhakiUnderwear]

I'm in Tacoma, and I'm screwed :/

[DOGSHAWKS]

lol I would be dead..

[adversitysm]

i live in burien

[returnofsoma6666]

I would HATE to think what would happen if Rainer blew. Hopefully that will be a long time in coming.

[tiffygummybear]

I live near Olympia, Will I be affected BADLY?

[scar213156]

...well suck i live near there im be among the 16000 dead
