Hood is impressive from Portland. Picture flying South from PDX to San Diego prior to watching Bills v Chargers at SoFi.

 

 

I can see Mt Jefferson from my back yard on a clear day.

I live near the Adirondack mountains. In fact I take a few rides on the Motorcycle through them each year. Always thought they were beautiful and majestic peaks......then I visited the rocky mountains. Just wow! That was a drive from Denver to Utah.

I went to Denver once for work to visit the AT&T facility. I went on a trip through Golden up the hill to Central City for some food and gambling. Elevation 8,498 ft.

I think the reason I find Hood to be such an attractive mountain is because it has that nice symmetric single cone that's still intact at the summit.  Rainer's more flattened, like it blew it's top recently (Hood erupted more recently, but I don't think it was an explosive eruption.)  Shasta's intact, but has three summits, so looks lopsided.

 

Rainer's more interesting, though, since it's going to destroy Seattle and Tacoma.

So apparently there's a tsunami in progress in Okinawa, after a 7.5 in Taiwan.

I saw someone taking a video in Taiwan instead of duck and cover. I was waiting to see a fluorescent light smack him upside his head while he was taking cell phone video.

Years ago, in an office I worked, we were watching a thunderstorm.  A funnel cloud started to form, and people started to move in to the stairwell.  I stayed at the window...

 

"Tom, you should get away from the window..."

 

"No way!  A tornado is forming.  When am I ever going to see this again?"

 

Some people's risk management is just different.

I was in an old building in Portland when the earthquake hit in Olympia Washington. Sitting next to a tall, outer window on the 6th floor I watched it flex.

I threw caution aside and went 6 floors down the stairs and as far away from any tall building as I could get.

Those were my instincts...

When we had the earthquake 12 years ago in DC, everyone left the building except me and one other guy who said "That's an earthquake?  Let's do it again!  It's not scientific if it's not repeatable."

 

Some people are just different.

Global warming must have caused the earthquake

Where in MD?

 

The northeast is on a solid plate of basalt, so seismic waves travel pretty far.  But so much of MD is this lousy alluvial clay soil, that it dampens the seismic waves.

The people that said that work in the Parkville area. I'm Westminster/Hampstead and no one here felt it.
