Washington’s ‘forgotten giant’ volcano stirs

Geologists are closely monitoring Mount Adams following an unusual increase in seismic activity, with six earthquakes detected in September, the highest number since 1982. While it may be nerve-wracking, experts emphasize there is no immediate cause for alarm, as the volcano remains in a normal state. Additional monitoring stations have been installed to gather more data and assess the situation. Despite being classified as a “high-threat volcano,” past eruptions of Mount Adams have been relatively low-key. While there is a potential for lahars, similar to Mount St. Helens, a major eruption is unlikely. So, no need to panic just yet.
