Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The most likely activity would be lava flows such as those that occurred after the last major eruption. Such a lava flow would ooze slowly over months and years, allowing plenty of time for park managers to evaluate the situation and protect people. No scientific evidence indicates such a lava flow will occur soon.
That's what they want you to believe. (And by worry, I mean, think about from time to time and wonder at the freakin' size of all that up in there)
Not that I will actually tell this to Pete.
NO.
Because that leads nowhere helpful.
That is a delightfully subtle description of his reaction.
You know, Mt. Saint Helens was pretty fuckin' big and yet most humans are still alive.
Apples and oranges though. It didn't erupt toward a heavily populated area.
I'm a lot more worried about the collapse of the economy than I am about natural disasters. But super viruses do freak me out a little.
I like to keep my disasters compartmentalized. I can worry about super volcanoes separately from super viruses. Economic collapse follows on from practically everything, so there's some overlap in the Venn diagram of disasters.
I have caught myself thinking If the world really does end in 2012 (or the rapture happens or whatever), that would kind of be okay with me. Has to be the whole world, though, local disasters I am against.
What an earthquake in the cascadia subduction zone will be like: [link]
Just me personally, because I am detached and odd, I don't worry about things I can't directly effect. Waste of good worry.
Sophia, I have a newsboy cap that I need to rehab. The bill was made over this old tagboardy-kind of form that has dried out and snapped in two places. When (if ever) you make caps like this, what do you use for the middle of the sandwich? Regular cardboard seems like it would disintegrate if it got wet (which it will, as I wear the cap to keep rain off my glasses) and isn't substantial enough. Plastic doesn't seem thick enough and won't retain my favorite shape. Suggestions, please?

Moi aussi.

This has come more and more easily as I have grown older. Still not all the way there, though.
The sun will go red giant. Just as catastrophic as far as this rock is concerned.
I don't have any concrete, catastrophic, world-ending disaster brainworms. Though my earthquake nightmares have gone up. From 0 to all too frequent, pretty much weekly. But I haven't had a tornado or water damage one in a few months!
I did the nuclear war thing as a kid. It was exhausting. I guess now I worry less about the shit that will kill me than the shit that I have to try to survive.
