Eruption of Lassen Peak in California

From USGS Volcanoes:




Today's #TBT we go back 100 years to the May 22, 1915 eruption of Lassen Peak in California -- the most recent large volcanic eruption in the state in what is now Lassen Volcanic National Park. California is much different today than it was 100 years ago; in 1915 there were no deaths, no injuries, and minimal economic losses due to the eruption. If we have a similar eruption today at Lassen, what would the impact be?

Today, April 23, 2015, at 7:00 p.m. PDT, Dr. Michael Clynne will be giving a presentation "A Sight 'Fearfully Grand' Eruptions of Lassen Peak, California, 1914 to 1917" at the USGS in Menlo Park, CA. The presentation will be streamed so you can watch online if you're not able to attend in person.http://online.wr.usgs.gov/calendar/
