Another thread feeding the sense of a looming West Coast eruption has been fresh research on an underwater volcano off the coast of Oregon. Scientists studying that seafloor system have concluded that it could erupt within a relatively defined window, but their timing is still measured in years, not days. Based on patterns of inflation and past cycles, they now expect that the submarine volcano off Oregon likely will not erupt until mid to late 2026, even though earlier models suggested it could erupt within a year.

Lessons learned, St Helens went far & wide, ash was 3-4" in Yakima then, blew most of the transformers & trashed water/sewer. Lost a few folks that were closer to the mountain, sad times. Been on tidal wave evac protection details on the Oregon coast when I was younger, not so many evac routes. I'm relatively sure routes would have presented a serious problem. Contingencies where available but very limited.

With an underwater eruption I would be more concerned about a tsunami than anything else, except maybe it setting off a chain reaction of eruptions from other nearby volcanoes.
