The Osceola mudflow was ~5.7k years ago and buried what is now Auburn, that's a real monster. The Electron was ~500 years ago and didn't quite reach Puyallup. A flow like the one that made the Sandy River sandy might mean having to evacuate and then rebuild much of Troutdale - bad, but not exactly the end of the world. So lahars, as awesome as they are, don't seem as much to fear as subduction zone quakes, which shake the crap out of everything every half millennium or so. Some info.

That is truly amazing, and this turtle should be the poster child for how destructive we are - here's an animal whose ancestors survived one of the most massive calamities in Earth's history - but they were no match for humanity.

Gob's not on board.
