Scientists on high alert for massive eruption as Washington's largest active volcano gets rattled by earthquakes

Nestled in south-central Washington, approximately 55 miles (88.51 kilometres) southwest of Yakima, Mount Adams is considered a 'high-threat' volcano—but not necessarily because of an impending eruption. The volcano, as per a Daily Mail report, has the potential for catastrophic landslides and fast-moving lahars. These mudflows, which can surge downhill at speeds of up to 50 miles per hour, pose a significant risk to communities in the region.
