Re: [californiadisasters] Where Will The Next CA Volcanic Eruption Occur?

Bite your tongue, you two.  I live 70 mi. due south of Lassen.  Don't go predictin' *my* volcano will erupt.  I'm sure it must be Baker, like you said, as second. <smile>

Lassen or Mammoth, with Baker coming in as a close second. I'd lay odds on all of them. :-) Shasta still has much going on around it and Shastina, what with fumaroles and mudpots galore. And yes, you're right about Medicine Lake... I'm just now getting around to doing research on the area. All of them are fascinatingly unique. Ironically, I was just reading about the Surprise Valley eruption last night. I learned the difference between a phreatic and phreomagmatic eruption. So very cool.

Phreatic eruptions count like the one in Surprise Valley in the 1950's. Don't forget that Medicine Lake appears to have done something back in the 1890's. Mt Shasta was observed in eruption in the 18th century from down near where Sacramento later was located. Of course Mt. Lassen was in eruption during the First World War.

My money is on Mt. Lassen next time.
