Appearances can be deceiving.
The volcano is thought to be extinct.
This is where numerous earthquake swarms
have been happening recently.. eq swarms
are associated with moving magma.

CNN will have 24/7 coverage of the volcanic mudslide engulfing the city. This will be just like Pompeii. |

This is an excellent BBC intro...
shows the people ignoring all the
eq warning signs... they didn't
understand what a volcano could do.

Just because a mountain is composed of "volcanic" rock doesn't make it a "volcano".
But the previous poster's first hand reports do give me something to think about....

Thank you for that link Is45....i will watch them tonight. I find that whole Pompeii story very interesting. I equate Pompeii with our modern world.
Those people died because they lost their ability to read nature and move when they had to move when the volcano was going to erupt....and they lived with arrogance and contempt for the volcano and didndt want to move because of all their material possessions. It is a lot like our modern world. Arrogant, greedy, contemptuous, disrespectful. Pompeii is an example of our society today. |

Some people think Lake Tahoe was a volcano, but it was formed by a glacier and stopped there and melted into the lake. |

that pompeii video is AWESOME. thanks for sharing!
things happen in time. there is no reason why disastrous things can't happen in our generation. we just don't believe it will happen to us. or if we do we think it will be 'the end of the world' kind of stuff. horrible things will happen. and will always happen. if it happens to us doesn't mean it's the end all. (unless you are stuck in it of course!) |

Its also near a Caldera, and if you look at the quakes that have been happening, they are triangulating around the Long Valley Caldera, in Mammoth. For those of you who don't know what a caldera is, Yellowstone is also a Caldera, as is Tonga (where many quakes are happening now), the site of one of the most violent eruptions in recorded history.
[link to lvo.wr.usgs.gov]
Look at the patterns of the latest quakes on the west coast.
Cascadia subduction zone is lit up
Quakes all around Long Valley (though the valley is somewhat quiet)
If either one of these gives, we are super screwed |

Time to put "Dante's Peak" back into the VCR and scare myself again!!
On a more serious note: Of course the Fed's will downplay what is happening ... after all back in the late 80's/early 90's when Mammoth became active according to their guidlines they should have ordered a localized evacuation ... BUT DID NOT!! (the background on how they came up with the story line for Dante's Peak). |

My dad lived there for 20 years, my parents got married there. When he moved there int he 50's there was no real estate asshat.
I hate ignorant fucks. Don't tell me about my homeland.
Try doing a bit of research online about the lake instead of blathering nonsense. |

Tracking traces of the Tahoe tsunami
Nevada Appeal News Service
February 25, 2007
Coming off a ground-breaking Tahoe tsunami research year, scientists are planning for a new season of underwater science, one they hope will pinpoint the date of a past monster wave.
Along the way they will investigate the potential for a tsunami in Tahoe's future, including analyzing the strength and stability of steep rock walls along the lake, which could collapse and cause another huge wave.
Last year, scientists believed they found definitive proof that a huge landslide caused approximately 100-foot waves to wash over what is now Tahoe City, sometime within the last 20,000 years or so.
This summer, the clue-finding will continue, aided by a remote-controlled submarine named Triton, which has served as underwater eyes for a conglomeration of scientists.
The submersible comes from Santa Clara University, and is used from Antarctica to Japan for underwater observations.
University of Nevada, Reno Geology Professor Richard Schweickert said the team will search for remnants of ancient, underwater forests that may help date the last Tahoe wave.
Last year, researchers used the sub to video long ridges of boulders in the water along Tahoe City they believe are vestiges of a wave produced by the collapse of shoreline near Sugar Pine Point State Park on Tahoe's west shore.
"We think we have some very profound evidence of tsunami waves sweeping up onto the Tahoe City shelf," Schweickert said.
Tahoe's past generates questions about a tsunami in Tahoe's future, he said.
"One could infer from (evidence of past tsunamis) that there will be a tsunami in the future," said Schweickert.

Unbelievable but True
One day in 1943, a farmer in a small village in central Mexico in the state of Michoacan set out to plow his cornfield. It seemed like any ordinary Saturday, the month was February and the skies were clear. The farmer, Dionisio Pulido, was attending his crop of corn when he heard low rumblings emanating from the earth. This in itself was nothing particularly new; indeed, the area in which he lived, just outside the quaint village of Paricutín, had been experiencing small earth temblors for the past 2 months.
Little did he realize that his life was to forever change due to the impending events that would soon unfold. Suddenly and without warning, much to the farmer's consternation, the earth started to open up before his very eyes. A huge crack appeared in the dirt directly in front of where he stood. Instinctively, Dionisio Pulido attempted to fill the hole with earth. This was to no avail. Soon a terrible odor could be smelt coming from the fissure in the ground, a smell that can only be described as rotten eggs.
This odor, which was actually sulfur rising from the fissure in the earth, portended more events yet to come. Much to the farmer's dismay, smoke started billowing out of the ground, the rising gray vapors filled with soot and ash. A terrible heat could be felt rising from the earth's inner core and wisely, Dionisio Pulido fled the scene. Incredibly, what the farmer was unknowingly witnessing first-hand was the birth of a new volcano. Exhausted from the day's extraordinary events and with the sun quickly setting in the western sky, Dionisio retreated to his home for the evening.
The next day, Dionisio, along with several others from the village, went out at dawn to examine the location. What they saw both amazed and justifiably terrified them. Rocks were furiously shooting into the sky while the cone of the previously underground volcano now broke through the surface and started growing before their very eyes. Lava started to pour quickly out of the cone's spout and this was enough to convince the villagers to get away as fast and far as possible. The entire cornfield was soon transformed, its surface filled with molten rock that continued to expand across the landscape.
Two villages were buried by the volcano's lava and ash, Paricutin and San Juan Parangaricutiro. A striking example of the volcano's effects can be seen in photos of the church that was buried neck high in San Juan Parangaricutiro. Only the steeple of the church can be seen today with the landscape forever and dramatically altered with acres upon acres of lava rock stretching out in all directions. Incredibly, there were no fatalities from the falling rock or scalding lava, although lightning that accompanied the original event was blamed for 3 deaths.
The former residents of the two villages had to relocate with the memory of that fateful February day forever etched in their memories. What they had witnessed was extraordinary, for what they had observed with their own eyes was the birth of a volcano. The volcano's cinder cone ultimately reached its full height of 1,391 feet where it stands today. Thankfully, the type of volcano that occurred in Paricutin is classified as monogenetic, meaning that it will never erupt again. In 1952 all activity ceased and it is now considered a dormant volcano.
**
The volcano of Paricutin now bears the honor of being listed as one of the world's 7 natural wonders. It holds the distinction of being the only volcano on the planet born in modern times. Eruptions from volcanoes are commonplace occurrences but the birth of an entirely new volcano is genuinely rare.

Since the west side of Reno sits on the base of a cinder cone (with active vents) that would indicate the area is volcanic/seismicly active again and shouldn't people be concerned about their safety? Has anyone seen anything like an evacuation order? Or a rise in hospital visits for breathing problems?
Could this indicate something bigger happening? I thought cinder cones were associated with larger volcanic activity such as a lava flow with cinder cones on the sides of the main event. There are a few active cinder cones in Nicaragua and Paricutin in Mexico (which started from a cinder cone). A little closer watch and research is perhaps advised on this one. |

I just posted the story about Paricutin.
Great minds and all that ;)
