California’s Clear Lake Volcano may look quiet on the surface, but scientists are warning that this “sleeping giant” is far from dead. Known as one of the youngest volcanic systems in the state, Clear Lake has shown signs of unrest in the past — and experts believe it still has the potential to erupt again in the future. But what would really happen if Clear Lake Volcano awakened? In this video, we explore the fascinating geology behind the Clear Lake volcanic field, its connection to California’s seismic history, and why scientists monitor it closely. Clear Lake is part of a chain of volcanic systems that have shaped the western United States for millions of years. Beneath the peaceful waters of the lake lies a hotspot of geothermal activity that could, under the right conditions, lead to an eruption. We’ll break down what a Clear Lake eruption might look like, the potential consequences for Northern California, and how it compares to other dangerous volcanoes such as Yellowstone and Mount St. Helens. Could an eruption threaten nearby cities? Would it disrupt agriculture, infrastructure, and life across the region? And most importantly, are there early warning signs scientists are watching for right now? Clear Lake Volcano may not be as famous as Yellowstone or the Cascades, but it could represent one of California’s hidden volcanic threats. Whether it’s small eruptions, steam-driven explosions, or a larger volcanic event, understanding Clear Lake helps us prepare for the future.

Multiple people were shot in Washington, DC, on Wednesday, including at least one member of the US National Guard, according to a source familiar with the early reports.
