Lots of earthquakes at Mt. Ranier and everyone

is getting rattled about a possible eruption.

I was just reading comments from people that live in the Seattle area. No one knows who to believe. News is playing the danger down but everyone is trying to get good information.

Nobody trusts the news to not be spewing more GOP propaganda.

I think of living things for nature. This would fall more in the category of the earth itself.

But also.. Im not far away, and this is the first im hearing of this. Which tells me that this is almost certainly not really a thing.

From Fort Lewis during the early Vietnam War. Beautiful site. I hope all is well there.

It reminded me of St. Helen’s. It looked like the north face of Ranier had been blown out.
