seams like people are getting prepared, maybe the news team or whatever think that 'serious' is something like upping sticks and deserting the place completely, and getting as far away as possible.

who knows. maybe itll end up being like Y2K. think of all the gas masks collecting dust in the garage.. or ending up at Good will

IF the city doesnt issue fair warning to the people, it can be held liable if this does end up being a catastrophe, whether 1 person or 100. which is why.. i wouldnt be too worried about it... BUT who knowsssssss

GDIS

They have given fair warning. They have told people to evacuate a number of times, so if they get burried in the remains, it is their own damn fault.

o0o0o0.. well in that case.. RUN BITCHES!!!

but im assuming those r people who are at the base of it? i dunno any of the demographics of the area so...

GDIS

Yes. Anyone near the base, people near the Toutle River, and any areas that may be subject to ash problems. Mother nature isn't very nice. The areas around the mountain were just starting to get back to normal after 24 years. Trees are growing, and the river is taking better form. This is going to set things back quite a bit.

dunno bout that one. mother nature likes to balance itself out (forest fires make for new growth, get rid of old trees... bears eat a lot of fish, which is why there are a lot more fish than bears.. etc etc) its people that set shit back (greedy mother fuckers)

GDIS

no...just a sputter!:)
