Interesting story in the Portland Oregonian newspaper about the dangers of Mt. Rainier. That 14,000 foot peak poses a real threat to the population centers of Tacoma and Seattle, Washington. The threat comes from lahars, or a flowing mass of mud and debris, flowing down channels where older lahars spread thousands of years ago. No large population then. Today, millions. St. Helens still continues to grow its new lava dome. Earthquake activity is down.
