When the plates move no one is safe.. Mt Rainier is on the northern tri-radiant of Yellowstone You can bet your ass that when that plate section subducts its going to be a mess for the whole world. Yellowstone erupts (major) about once every 600,000 years and we are now over due by about 50,000 years.Subduction zones lay dormant for decades, then those volcanoes come alive violently after plate movement.. Earthquakes followed by eruptions... Game on!Something that I've been wondering about.......Washington also being along the Pacific Rim seems to have the least amount of activity and I'm not so sure that's a good thing.....?
Game on??? You're nuts. Been thru 1965 earthquake @ 6.5 and Nisqually was 6.8, plus Mt St Helens. Those were only precursors to what has been long overdue here. Cali isn't the only place expecting 'The Big One' and when that happens, Mt Rainier could very well release the beast.
I guess we do have an average of over 2,000 quakes in any given year, but the greater majority of those are so small nobody notices.
