Just my own opinions and view and nightmares remembered.
I once asked a friend of mine that loves to Snow ski and Snow Board and Ice climb why he choses to drive the hundreds of miles to the mountains in the northwestern U.S.A. and just does not relocate to Portland, Oregon or Seattle, Washington, and he smiled and said: Because I majored in Geology in Collage and you would never find me living any were around those Volcanic zones, for a lot of people it is out of sight out of mind,...
Or as I like to Say, Ignorance is Bliss...
I never heard of lemurian’s or of their living under Mount Shasta, not a very intelligent race of Lemurs (Race) are they, I mean for one thing just the caustic choking fumes of sulfurs alone would screw up the lungs and body organs let alone screw up there completion.
But seriously living anywhere near a volcano is so very unwise, I am perplexed as to why cities were settled and created around these Huge potentially explosive Volcanoes, I do understand that these major city were settled and developed back in the 1800’s or before the understanding of Volcanism (Volcanic Activity)( the processes involved in the formation of volcanoes, and in the transfer of magma and volatile material from the interior of the Earth to its surface, as a study of science and Geology)
But come on Man! Have you ever seen the miles upon miles of Volcanic debris fields, I mean the potential for a Volcanic eruption hapening and to tossing many millions of Tons of House sized searing hot lava boulders is very frightening to me, and just the ash flow of valcanic mud and debris it gathers is life threatening and disasters...
Case in point May of 1980 in the southwestern bottom end of Washington State when Mount Saint Helens Erupted, just the fallout of the ash had impacted over hundreds and hundreds of miles, I recall sitting in Coeur d’ Alane, Idaho and not knowing what was going down as we looked up and saw the ominous Black boiling rolling cloud coming fast over the city from the West Southwest and I mean it was not something you will never forget, all kinds of bad frightening thought are running through your mind and you start to tally up your family real quick and then relies there is no were to run to.
I drove in it for 30 minutes as acrid thick ash fell upon the Windscreen of my Chevy Blazer 4X4 as the day turned to almost black, it was a very life disrupting event for weeks after, ruining, car wheel bearings, Car motors and choking engine carburetors out and choking people and animals alike, scratching their eyes, and it kept on raining this acrid ash down like a sticking gagging snow storm, many states over twice the length of Ireland from bottom to top of Ireland were heavily ashes rained upon, it landed every where, all of it the ash was not water salable it stayed even if washed with hose water or rain fall it still was there and as it laid heavy upon the foliage in the woods and forests and the deer and elk ate the leaves of foliage it abrasively wore down their teeth damaging them permanently, and that is just the Ash fall, I have driven for miles through the Lava fields in many states and I can tell you there is no way that there could even be a subterranean city ancient or new and have any inhabitance within the earth, the Earths raw Geological power alone in just earth quakes at the epicenter is nothing I wish to be living around of though and I have lived and survived many of those, so even living 300 miles away from Mount Saint Helens would not even be far enough for me to not get very nervous and stressed when hearing it’s showing very potently destructive and life threatening activity… There is no civilization under Mount Shasta.
