God bless you and yours, no matter where you are in the world.

Ladies and gentlemen, we're seeing the largest swarm on Mount Rainier
of earthquakes that I remember ever seeing in my 57 years.
And it looks like it's about to go off.
We're going to zoom in and take a look here.
Absolutely amazing. You really can't tell
because they're all on the very crest of Mount Rainier.
This is Mount St. Helens, Mount Adams here,
Mount Hood down here, all part of the Cascadia system.
As we zoom in, it's unbelievable what y'all are about to see.
Absolutely unbelievable.
We have exactly 100 earthquakes,
and I'm sure we'll have more than that.
As we complete this video,
these are all on the very crest of Mount Rainier, one of the most
active volcanoes in North America.
We're going to go down and look. These are all small quakes,
but look at the depths. Negative 0.5 here, 0.0.
Now this is above sea level. Negative 0.6.
This looks like we have magma working its way
to the top of this mountain, and I mean
right now.
These are all very shallow earthquakes,
although they're not large, but they show you is all
the magma movement at the crest of the top of Mount Rainier.
We couldn't ask for anything worse than this news, a negative 0.2.
If we see something that says negative two.
We're negative three point anything.
We know that we're just prior to an eruption.
That means the magma is up high in the chamber in the mountain here.
We're seeing some very shallow depths in all these quakes.
There's a 0.8, almost a full kilometer above sea level.
And as we go down, a 0.5, a negative 0.5,
a negative 0.8, a negative 0.1.
This is absolutely, uh-oh, a negative 2.2 kilometers.
I will do some math on that one.
Keep that one in mind real quick.
Negative 9, negative 1, negative 3, negative 2.3 kilometers.
Again, that's 2.2 kilometers there.
I'm talking about getting up into the Caldaria here.
Negative 1.6, and I just keep going.
Negative 2.2, negative 2.1.
Just after I said it, it started appearing here,
not good signs, negative 2 here, negative
0.2, negative 0.4, negative 1.9,
this thing is about to pop, I'm talking about actually
go off, magma going everywhere, unbelievable,
these are all way up in the caldera, there's
There's a negative 2.4 there.
We're gonna see exactly how high
that is versus how high the mountain is
as soon as we finish this. A negative 2.1, negative 2.2.
These are all negatives. Every
one of them a negative 2, negative 2.2, 2.4, a negative 2.7.
We'll see how high that one was.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is going to be tragic.
Never seen anything like this.
In my 57 years on the planet,
I was around for the Mount St. Helens eruption in the early 80s.
All right, we saw one quake that was negative 2.7 kilometers,
which is right under 9,000 feet.
Now, there is some good news, if that's possible,
but this is way up in the caldera,
and that was a fairly sizable quake, just under a magnitude 2.
You ask, what could be the good news?
Well, it turns out Mount Rainier stands at 14,400 feet
above sea level here. So that's 5,500 feet above
the highest earthquake we've seen thus far
out of the 100 that have just popped off. This is crazy.
Now we haven't seen another earthquake in the last five minutes
which is the time it took me to film
this. So fingers crossed that the swarm is over
although it appears that the swarm is ongoing.
Everything in red happened within the last hour
and everything in yellow here happened within the
last 24 hours. Zoom in to show you
that they're all situated in the exact middle on the crest.
Of this very large active volcano.
God bless you and yours folks.

Anything's possible.
Bizarro world.
