For what it's worth, they actually have plans for when Mt. Rainer blows. Won't do a lot of good and will make Katrina look mellow. But at least, if St Helens is a guide, we'll have several months warning. There won't be any warning when the big one quakes in the Pacific off Washington. Geologic evidence puts that one above 9 or 10 Richter. Coast line dropped 20 feet.
