Lots of earthquakes lately, something is going on down there.

Some odd odors drifted through there too ….

Sulfur? Smell of sulfur crystallizing before eruption?

Well that's not ideal. Hope it's just grumbling and not doing anything too crazy.

The USGS is on top of it:

Monitoring stations detect small magnitude earthquakes at Mount Adams (September 2024) | U.S. Geological Survey

Entertaining?

In 2018:

716 homes destroyed
3000 displaced
250 million in damages
Over 25 million in Farms losses.
Over 400 million of tourists dollar gone.
