An undersea volcano near Oregon is showing signs of imminent eruption, prompting concern about potential ash fall in the region. Geologists have been monitoring the activity, with mild earthquakes reported last week, highlighting the region’s volcanic nature.
The 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens, which occurred on May 18th, was a catastrophic event that affected millions. However, it is unclear whether a similar magnitude eruption will occur in Oregon. While there is no immediate danger for Idaho and Washington, residents are advised to be prepared for the possibility.
According to reports, an eruption could cover much of the lower 48 states in deep ash. However, warnings would likely precede such an event, providing time for evacuations or other preparations. Despite this, millions without safe havens may still face significant disruptions.
The situation is being closely monitored by authorities, but it remains uncertain when or if a major eruption will occur.
