i have never been to Hawai'i :( the only time I was outside of Canada

was once to California in 1950. I remember gas sings 19 cents a gallon :)

we went in our family car 1936 Plymouth Down I5 highway. A highway patrol police

stop us because our car had a broken tail light. I will

never forget how polite and kind he was. he went to the trunk of his cruiser

and found a piece of red cloth to tie on broken tail light. he never even gave us a ticket.

Hawaii is definitely one of the places I would love to visit too :) And the volcanoes would be top of my list once I was there.

I live in an area with what are very possibly extinct volcanic activity as the hot spot is said to have gone away from the area, there is about 4 miles away a small Cinder Cone, at 3.5 miles the large remains of a volcanic throat and about 6 miles away there are some volcanic dikes and such.

i would like to visit Hawai'i before I go to that big home in the sky :) which island are the big telescopes on ?

Most of them, including the Keck twins, are on Maui.
The active volcanos on the Big Island would render optical telescopes useless.

thank you Donald for that info.

Just woke up it is 3: 24 AM on west coast of Canada :)

I think I will lay down and sleep some more :)

P.S.

Portland Oregon, seattle Wash, and Vancouver Canada are all on the Ring of Fire

they say we could get the next big Earthquake in seattle, Vancouver area

anytime now. and they say (US GS) (Canada GS) it will a big big one 9.0 ?

when mt st Helens went off in Oregon in 1980 , I heard the Boom in Vancouver.

Vancouver is I think 500 to 600 miles north of Mt St Helens ?

Well, the cure for the ring of fire is to drink plenty of Lager at the time, as it tends to put the fire out to a certain extent, although you'll never be certain of that until you sit on the throne the next morning.

I think if you're prone to a ring of fire, you should avoid all foods that are described as a curry, and those that contain chillies.

Only way to be certain.

Mmm....

4 large earthquakes within the last week and equally divided between both sides of the Pacific.

That's a lot of activity this year.

Cheers.

That might be, but it could be worse, that reminds Me of a Movie made in 1965, Crack in the World...

I feel a few small ones and I been through about 5 larger one too, my biggest is about 5.6 but I learn to just live with it. Now NZ, chilli, mexico and a few other's get a real big ones like 7.6 to over 9, they are bad. I wasn't here for the 89 quake of in San Francisco but was for the Northridge CA in 94? they say San Francisco is over due for the big one but a little better ready for it.

Yes New Madrin was a bad one back in 1811 and 1812 and they still get bumbs after all this time. well recorded by one women back then.

Ditto, or snow and rain will be the least of everyones worries, it could reign lava bombs, I'd rather have snow.

Yes!! Indeed... I did read somewhere that they think it might actually be in the process of dying though, which is a step up from being asleep (volcanically speaking only of course :))

Well I not sure the hot spot is really dying, but then no one knows for sure, just moving as the continent moves over the hot spot, which rises from somewhere in the Earths Mantle.

Questions About Yellowstone Research

Yellowstone volcano is the world's largest, but is it dying?
The scene looked like a witches’ brew tucked inside a winter wonderland, one of thousands of reminders in Yellowstone National Park that the world’s largest volcano breathes below the surface. Chances are you’ve heard of the beast, the one capable of sending 2,000 times more matter into the sky than Mount St. Helens and producing an ash cloud stretching from Wyoming to the East Coast.

An interesting side note from St. Helen's eruption. With in weeks there were all sorts of nice new looking used cars and trucks for sale at great prices. They had come from the St. Helen's down wind ash drop path. 100 to 500 miles driven in the ash was like 100,000 miles of wear & tear on the motors. Oops...

When Yellowstone goes at least we will be up wind for a week or so. ;^)

I'm well out of range, oh sure I might catch some ash since I'm about 940 miles away, but that's it, though anyone within 500 miles will die, some quicker than others, I just hope it's not within the next 100,000 years.

I was jokingly referring to when the ash cloud circumnavigates the globe we would have about a week. ;^)

Look for my like new used car for sell on Craig's List. I make you great deal. LOL!

Interesting stuff.

Thanks to this thread I've been checking everyday on the USGS site as I live in the ring of fire. Just felt my house shake less than an hour ago from the 6.7 in Port Hardy, British Columbia, so yes, I do feel a little bit anxious.

Will definitely have to keep up the earthquake insurance which is very expensive.

I have an earthquake resistant foundation system under the mobile home here that the county insisted on, there was a 5.0 earthquake that happened over 1 year ago between Yermo(means: 'the wilderness' in Spanish, neat) and Barstow, everything is still standing.
