I bet there's a good chance it explodes before my 40,000th birthday.

Where you live is much more dangerous than Portland for volcanic eruptions.....there are 13 live volcanos in the Cascades and 3 are at your back door in tight formation. Bend is a high risk area.

Big deal, the same is true for Mount Rainier, only the probability of it erupting with even more deadly consequences than an eruption of Mount Hood, is even more likely.

You should be so lucky.

But the 2nd amendment guarantees Maris the right to self-protection. Maris will shoot the volcano with his gun.

Fake post. Our growth rate is 1.32%. Hardly the result of a failed state now is it?

Id rather have a gun for protection by my side, than Antifa, any day. No I'm not a Nazi or racist, just an Amercian citizen that believes in the second amendment, pro choice, same sex marriage, fiscal conservativeness, limited the size of bureaucratic government, pro business, and valuing and protecting the Constitution. I also love sports!

Oh! I am not sure I can buy that assessment.
Lapine is not close to huge water sheds that could be interrupted by volcanic events which could cause massive floods in Portland. Nor is it in close proximity to as many threats.

Bullshit, Alabama is just one sharpie marker away from being destroyed by Mt Hood.

 

[Hoopguru]

Hell, Im more worried about Mt. Tabor & Mt.Scott cinder cones that could cramp my style!

Well, those are your only two choices, aren't they.

No, its not like Clinton or Trump being only two choices.
When it comes to dealing with Volcanoes don't get to close.

Any active Volcano could erupt at any given time, cause havoc, and have devastating consequences

Aren't they both extinct volcanoes?

I hope he has good aim

True story, and infamous city-killer Alta-Rock has been stirring them up and causing thousands of tiny earthquakes for about 7 years now on Newberry Caldera, about 5 miles from my home. Thanks Obama!

 

[Hoopguru]

I believe so. I read somewhere that they both were cinder cone volc's from Mt. Hood.
Newberry crater is also a cinder cone.

Actually, a few miles due west from Paulina Lake on your map is where they have been fracking for 7 years, and an eruption in that spot would likely drain both Paulina Lake and East Lake and send them down the mountainside, across the highway, and wipe out about 8,000 homes including mine.

Pretty much exactly as St Helens did with Spirit Lake.

 

[Hoopguru]

They a dormant cinder cones of the Boring lava flow.

Sorry to hear it.
But. still, it is one caldera and one water source that must deliver with precision.
When is the only question about Portland's threats.

I came really close to buying land in the Bend area when I left Wilsonville ...the seismologist convinced me the foothills of the coastal range are the least risky place you could live in Oregon within commuting distance of an urban center.......the eastern side foothills...I'm pretty safe where I landed...and above the floodplain..there's a floodplain in almost every region of Oregon...one about 4 miles from my land. Portland is a waterfront...it will have unique problems if there's an eruption there. If anything could alter my neck of the woods it'd be a forest fire.

Do you live near Walton?

 

[riverman]

Do you live near Walton?

Southeast of there...not that high up...my land is 700 to 1000 ft above sealevel ..above the snowline for Lane County...I almost bought the Walton store about 20 years ago...glad I didn't...place gets robbed all the time and is for sale every other year or so it seems. There are no cops around Walton. I have friends who have 20 acres just a couple miles west of there.

You can thank Trump for not having a volcano erupt in your neck of the woods. After all, he is the chosen one.
