    LITTLE MORE ABOUT RAINIER
    1. Mt. Rainier's last big eruption was 5000-5400 yrs ago.
    The Osceola mud flow.
    2. Lahar's reached port of Tacoma and the port of Seattle.
    3. Rainier's current cone is 500,000 yrs old.
    4. Activity began 800,000 yrs ago.
    5. The jagged peak to the east of Rainier's summit is called "little Tahoma".
    During the eruption 5000 yrs ago, 1600 feet of Rainier's summit suddenly slid off.
    Tahoma is the remnant of Rainier's former slopes when it was 16,000 feet.

It would pose little direct threat to human life in Seattle, or to the city’s infrastructure.

I had seen pictures, but seeing it in real life to me was comparable to seeing the death star. Just how big it looks from almost 3 hrs away in Seattle is crazy.

    I’ve travelled quite extensively over the years. I’ve climbed Vesuvius, toured the Kilauea national park, been to Mt Saint Helen’s, travelled through parts of Central America and north of South America and saw several active volcanoes. Enjoyed it all but nothing had a more profound effect on me than the first time I saw Mt Rainier. Like Mt Saint Helens, you cannot imagine how big it is or how majestic it is. I had been in Seattle about 4 days and not seen it because of cloud. My last day there, woke up, went outside and there it was. It is more impressive viewing it from Seattle. The closer you get to it the less you see. From Seattle, because of the distance and the tree covered ranges in between, it looks like it’s floating. Absolutely worth seeing….and Seattle is pretty damn good too.😊

      If you want to understand the eruption better, watch a Mount Saint Helens video!!!!!!! simple example that this fool misses

    Prominence, to be clear, is determined as follows: for the target peak, you identify the closest peak that is taller than the target. Then you want to identify a point where, without human intervention, the ridge line starts going up towards the taller peak after going down. It’s not always easy to identify. In mount rainiers case you have to look towards a mountain in Mexico, pick de orizba. You cannot get between the two without dropping to 1000 feet or so.
    Another local example: mount si. That big place a lot of people like to hike a little higher than 4000 feet. The prominence is how high it’s haystack is compared to the eastern approach (a couple hundred feet ). because the point it bottoms our which is just under 4000 feet is it’s col which determines mount si’s prominence. Little si, on the other hand, has a prominence of about 800 feet, which is the elevation gained after the flat part of the trail, which is also the col separating little si from mount si. So little si is much more prominent than mount si.
    Poo poo point in issaquah? The prominence is no more than 20 feet, so it’s not really a peak by my book nothing to make it stand out aside from the views it offers.

    Even as a Oregonian, you can see Tahoma (Rainier) on clear days from various vantages, from the Astoria Column (no joke, it's fucking wild and cool), to various places in the Portland Metro. It's even slightly more viewable from here than Mt. Jefferson is, which you really wouldn't think could or should be possible. A really fun bit of this is that the more you really observe, explore & study, the more you realize that we here in Oregon often assume we're seeing Mt. Adams (Pahto, Klickitat) when we're really seeing Tahoma. It's crazy once you realize it from various locations that it's Rainier and not Adams. Crazy! The I-5 Bridge on a clear atmosphere day you can see Helens, Rainier, Adams, Hood AND Jefferson, which is SO FUCKING COOL.
    Anyway, funny enough, I have zero concerns and instead a lot of excitement for a major eruptive event from any of our volcanos here in Cascadia. Even Wy'East (Hood) despite living on the west side of the Portland area. The only thing that would keep me here with finanical oppotunity or freedom is family and even more so the natural ecosystems and environment here. That's it. But that latter bit is so impactful and powerful, it makes it SO hard to consider leaving. There truly is no place on earth like here in the Pacific Northwest. We take it for granted so much that even when we eat, sleep and breathe being out in the wilderness here, maybe even living there, we still take it for granted without realizing it. People make comparisons all the time "it looks just like (place in the alps of Europe)", is the most common one. But it really doesn't at all. It looks VERY unique here. Even Oregon, Washington, BC, Yukon and Alaska all look entirely unique despite us all being Pacific Northwestern/Cascadian. It's easy to quickly if not immediately detect and see the differences between each place. And that's so freaking epic.

    I think that the scariest thing about volcanoes isn’t the volcanoes themselves, it is the fact that when (not if) it erupts, a lot of people will freak out. When we lived in Oklahoma, it was scary the amount of people who had no clue what to do if a tornado happened. On the first Saturday of every month, we had a tornado drill at home. The sirens would sound at 12, and you had 5 minutes to get everything you needed (food, dogs, first aid kit, important documents) in the shelter. With a volcano, you have weeks of notice. Not minutes. If the geologists say “it is likely to erupt”, then you start packing, and hit the road, don’t stop at stores and panic buy, just go. Worst case scenario, you hear the eruption sirens go off, you get a go bag, and you run, not drive, your ass up the hill,

    I lived in Sumner for two years and studied up on how to stay alive. The biggest omission I noticed in your review is that the rock is literally rotting. From what I remember reading, the sulphuric gasses from inside the mountain are corroding the rock from the inside and one study showed that the rock on the western face is an order of magnitude more crumbly than the eastern face. So there's a possibility that it won't give the anticipated warnings before an eruption but rather collapse on itself.

    Her name is Tahoma.
    Tahoma means "The Mother of Waters" and comes from the local Puyallup tribe.
    Rainier was a British admiral who wasn't even present when Captain Vancouver observed the mountain while surveying the coast. He just happened to be a friend of Vancouver so Vancouver named the mountain after him. In fact, Rainier never actually saw the mountain in person, yet it bears his name.
    Tahoma is a far better name.

    Living this close to Mt Rainier, having a plan for eruption & meet up places is something I’ve just come to accept as my norm. I live close enough to feel the rumbling it creates, a lot more lately. I see this beautiful mountain everyday & I will miss it the day it goes. I fear for anyone uninformed enough to live in the Orting & Puyallup valleys. It’s insane seeing the expansion of these places knowing the valleys even exist bc they were dug out by the eruptions & flows prior which we know that no matter what way it goes, they will be destroyed. I have noticed these homes tend to be sold to people out of state. That’s just so sad. There’s too many people & too few routes for even half of these people to get out. And let’s not forget people forget about the ash & how this will break down cars & gas masks are necessary. Please don’t move to these locations. Please. If you live in a valley near it, just look to the hills. It CARVED it out of those hills. There’s very specific timelines to get out

    Born and raised in Tacoma. My family always had emergency protocols in place in case the mountain ever did erupt. I think that's cause my parents remember St. Helens.
    More importantly to me though, is that prominence. The mountain is always visible. It's often a matter of discussion in my hometown. "Oh the mountain is out today, isn't she beautiful?". I live out of state and I still get nostalgia when I see it. Occasionally friends of mine will send me photos of her.

And I could almost see the 'if it goes up or blows up sign' Auburn put up each year just a little bit farther down that road.
    Living out there was really interesting for some of the reasons you point out. Schools in the area had annual lahar drills and while we were on higher ground occasionally I'd cath the lahar sirens going off for drills/testing. Finally, the Volcano evacuation route sign which are so ubiquitous in east and central Pierce County, but which I had all but forgotten about. Awesome video, makes me miss home.
