Lahars caused most of the deaths of the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo. The initial eruption killed six people, but the lahars killed more than 1500. The eye of Typhoon Yunya passed over the volcano during its eruption on 15 June 1991, and the resulting rain triggered the flow of volcanic ash, boulders, and water down rivers surrounding the ...
The ERLAWS system activated at 10:47am and worked as planned. Scientists estimate that 1.29 million cubic metres (1.29 billion litres) of sulphur and water went down the Whangaehu Valley, [3] leaving 8.9 million cubic metres in the crater lake. This lahar was at least 50% larger than the 1953 lahar that caused the Tangiwai disaster.
Geologists consider Mount Rainier the most dangerous mountain in the United States, [2] and the USGS has estimated there is a one-in-seven chance of a catastrophic lahar at Mount Rainier occurring in the next 75 years.

The lahars can coat objects, wash objects away and can knock objects down by their force. Lahars, debris flows and mudflows that travel into a river or stream run the potential for crowding the waterway, forcing the water to flow outward and causing a flood. The volcanic matter could also pollute the water, making it unsafe to drink. [citation ...
Among those issues is how fast the water travels. Water velocity on March 8, when Strain was last seen, was measured at 3.81 feet per second , according to United States Geological Survey (USGS) data.

The FDA’s recommendations regarding daily caffeine consumption for adults are uncomfortably noncommittal. Their 2023 report states that 400 milligrams a day is “an amount not generally ...
Lahars are dangerous phenomena owing to their high speed and density, causing large scale destruction and fatalities, [48] and can be generated both by volcanic and meteorological processes. [51] Such lahars occurred in 2016 and 2023, causing damage to agricultural land and irrigation infrastructure.
