History and Hazards of Oregon's Most Recently Active Volcano, Volcano

Geological Survey Fact Sheet 060-00 Online Version 1.0 Mount Hood is more than 500,000 years old. The volcano has grown in fits and starts, with decades to centuries of frequent eruptions separated by quiet periods lasting from centuries to more than 10,000 years. In the recent past, Mount Hood has had two significant eruptive periods, one about 1,500 years ago and the other about 200 years ago. Unlike its neighbor to the north, Mount St. Throughout Mount Hood's history, rapid landslides, called debris avalanches, of various sizes have occurred. Lahars are often associated with eruptive activity, but they can also be generated by rapid erosion of loose rock during heavy rains or by sudden outbursts of glacial water. Two past eruptions at Mount Hood provide perspective on the impact of future large events.

About 100,000 years ago, a large portion of the volcano's north flank and summit collapsed. Distal hazard zones (D) are areas adjacent to rivers that are pathways for lahars. By. Burnside history.

FOX 12 investigators: Food stamps used for Frappuccinos

It may sound shocking, but the FOX 12 Investigators discovered you can use an Oregon Trail Card, which is part of the food stamp program, to purchase the luxury drink at certain Starbucks counters inside grocery stores. With the help of Jackie Fowler, who has an Oregon Trail Card, FOX 12 went to an in-store Starbucks within a Safeway in Salem. Fowler purchased a tall Frappaccino and slice of pumpkin bread and paid for both using her Oregon Trail card. POLL: Should food stamps be allowed at Starbucks counters? "It's crazy," said Fowler, who showed us the receipt for $5.25.

"They're overpriced as it is," said Fowler of the specialty drink. Fowler, who made the purchase only for the purpose of our story, says she thinks it's a huge misuse of the food assistance program. "There are a lot of loopholes," she said. A spokesman with Safeway told FOX 12 the store recently made the change as an added convenience to customers. Association for Portland Archaeology.
