A few from me:

Which of the Cascade volcanos is looking most likely to erupt next?

When Rainer/Tahoma erupts, are we likely to see a similar explosion to St Helens? I know an earthquake and landslide caused her north face to weaken and kinda blow out, is that possible again? Honestly, I'm a little worried we might see something similar and if it's the west face, how likely is that and what would that look like for the urban areas nearby?

How long should I be prepared to be a crazy survivalist if Rainier erupts if I'm in Olympia or Tacoma?

Can you guys PLEASE help Hollywood make a scientifically accurate volcano disaster movie? I don't think they understand how awesome and terrifying realistic eruptions are. Please please please and thank you?!

Thanks Brian! I shall prepare the MREs and the rags to protect my car's air intake 😉🤣

I love the long answer! Thank you!

Growing up around here, being a bit of a vulcanology/seismology nerd makes it more interesting and less scary 😁

Thanks for the info, and thanks for taking the time to do this today! I didn't exist yet when MSH blew in 1980, but my parents have stories. Mom was in SE Lewis County - heard a boom, went outside and watched the ash cloud growing. Other family members were in Ellensburg with plans to come home later that day, and mom's first thought was "I guess I don't have to make dinner for everyone tonight... OH CRAP, I HOPE THEY ARE OK!!" When they did make it home, WSP was escorting a couple cars at a time, very slowly, waiting a long time between crossings for the ash to settle.

YIKES. Also, so cool to live through something so historic.
