I grew up in Redding. I often wondered how an eruption from Shasta would affect that area. It definitely wouldn’t be good.

Ohhh please USGS tell us AGAIN what happens when a volcano erupts when there is snow and ice because I never learned anything in elementary school. So lava is hot? And it flows downhill? WOW! And pyroclastic flows are dangerous you say?

Always someone out there spreading fear porn when they're not spreading lies.

I didn't know Curt Smith was a volcanologist!!

I understand Mt. Shasta is on track to erupt and is being watched right now. Please hold all your rude comments. Go, pack your go bag.

I really hope that mt. Shasta doesn't erupt. I have family buried there and I can't make it over there to see them.

Who knew California was its own country. Here I was thinking we were apart of the United States. Stupid me (sarcasm)
