Volcano In Los Angeles?

Some news source I've never heard of thinks its possible, based on a "thermal anomaly" in the Padres Forest section of LA.

I'm sure President Bush will be blamed for this, if it happens. He's blamed for hurricanes, after all.

  1. Didn't someone make a movie of this? Gore will blame global warming I'm sure when the Hollywood sign melts.

  2. The LA Times has a story on the subject, some scientist said that the glue melted out of his light hikers just standing in that area.

    Yah, Al Gore's old roomy Tommy Lee Jones made a movie called Volcano back in the 90's. It was Hollywood-ridiculous. Another film from the same period, Dante's Peak, with Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton, at least tried to get volcano science correct and was actually a pretty good film.

    It's not incoceivable that a new volcano could form in the LA region; it only requires a magma chamber down in the Earth's crust, and a sufficiently weak path to the surface, such as a fault system (San Andreas, anyone?) There are volcanoes both north and south of LA, so the possibility is there.
