Also quite practical, as Mt. Rainier, for example, is expected to blow its top in the geological immediate future (highest res possible is 5k years per pixel, so to speak).

I don't think all that many people realize how techtonically active the PacNW/VeryBroaderSeattleArea is: there are volcanoes everywhere, and we had one essentially light off a nuke within itself just a handful of decades ago.

As an old geology professor of mine used to say: "Mankind exists by geologic consent only."
