CNN writes about the dangers Mount Rainier poses to the Seattle area, June 23, 2024

News Volcano

In light of CNN making the threat of Mountain Rainier to the Seattle area a top headline today, June 23, 2024, I want to acknowledge my college professors who always warned us not to live in Seattle, because we could live to see it destroyed in our lifetime by Mt. Rainier’s eventual eruption.

It turns out he passed away nearly seven years ago. RIP.

Life has a funny sense of humor. Despite teaching in Arizona, he was very concerned about Mt. Rainier in Washington State and the deaths that could come from its eruption. It always stuck with me because I am from the Oregon & Washington area, and the last major eruption in the Pacific Northwest was Mt. St. Helens, not nearly as big of a threat as Rainier though, but something that had a significant impact on the city of Portland, Oregon which was covered in ash. And as for life’s funny sense of humor, Mr. Holloway passed away at 77. He was a good guy so I would have liked to have seen he was still kicking.
Mount Rainier=77

Recall the overlap with ‘Seattle’ and ‘Volcano.’

Funny enough, I find out about his passing in the 82nd month since it happened.

Today is 32 weeks after the Superior General’s birthday.

Today leaves 191 days in the year, and Seattle is a Jesuit stronghold.
Society of Jesus=191

Keep in mind 191 is the 43rd prime, and Seattle has a fetish for 43 sports teams.

Seattle Kraken=43
