14. A map of the flood areas of the 1861–1862 California Megastorm. California is currently overdue for another ARkStorm, and should another one hit, the same areas are expected to be flooded, with severe consequences for the entire United States worse than those of California's long-overdue major earthquake.
15. Mount St. Helens' new spine lava dome, during its 2004–2008 Eruption, on May 4, 2006.

By the end of January 2008, volcanic activity had tapered off and the eruption ended.
