Will Mt. Hood ever explode?

Derek

Hi Derek,

Mt Hood will probably someday explode. However, that someday will probably not be soon and it could be in a few hundred years. Mt Hood appears to be relatively quiet at the moment. However, that could change. Mt. St. Helens gave geologists about 2 months warning before its big eruption. You might want to check out the special section of the Cascades Volcano Observatory that deals with Mt. Hood: here

Sincerely,

Scott Rowland
