[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Very good Wiki article, still an active area:

"The source of heat for volcanism in the Lassen area is subduction off the Northern California coast of the Gorda Plate diving below the North American Plate.[5] The area surrounding Lassen Peak is still active with boiling mud pots, stinking fumaroles, and churning hot springs.[6] Lassen Volcanic National Park is one of the few areas in the world where all four types of volcano can be found (plug dome, shield, cinder cone, and strato)."

Earthquake in Sacramento? [View all] silverweb May 2013 OP

Yup...near Portola CA... TheProgressive May 2013 #1

Is it possible that this movement might relate to the bridge collapsing in WA also? nt kelliekat44 May 2013 #63

The bridge collapsed forty-five minutes before the earthquake Brother Buzz May 2013 #64

But maybe something was moving 45 minutes before the quake? Just a thought. nt kelliekat44 May 2013 #65

I believe an oversized truck was moving forty-five minutes before the quake Brother Buzz May 2013 #66
