Universal Coordinated Time UTC – ZULU is a 24 hour clock. During an eruption, if the wind is from the east at 10,000 feet (outflow), the tephra will fall on Vancouver, Canada in about an hour. If the Kulshan Wind is from the west (inflow) the tephra will fall on Merritt, BC in about 40 minutes. There are extremes in preparedness, of course. As a basis of my work I use the 2015 Profile of Earthquake Risk in the District of North Vancouver by Earthquake Canada, wherein they state that there is 30% chance of a M7.3 in the middle of the Salish Sea, say between North Vancouver, Nanaimo and Victoria, in the next 50 years, that will bring down 839 buildings, just among the 80,000 residents in the District of North Vancouver.

Mt. Baker is an isolated stratovolcano in northern Washington. It is the northernmost of the Cascade volcanoes in the United States. Most of the summit of the volcano is covered by glaciers. Because of this, some First Nations gave Mt. Baker a name meaning "White Steep Mountain."; Sto:lo "Father", with Mount Cheam being mother.

Kulshan Stratovolcano© / Mount Baker Stratovolcano© has been very active over the last 10,000 years. Over that time it has had one pyroclastic
flow, at least four small tephra eruptions, at least two lava flows and at least eight mud flows. Mud flows remain the largest hazard on Kulshan Stratovolcano© / Mount Baker Stratovolcano©. Kulshan / Mt. Baker erupted in 1843. This eruption resulted in the deaths of many fish in the Baker River, a large forest fire, and the dropping of volcanic ash. The release of steam occurred at Mt. Baker in 1975-6, but no eruption followed this event. One of the most recent formations on Baker is a ~760 m (~2500 ft) wide, ~100m (~330ft) high cinder cone and its ~11 km (~7 mile) long lava flow at Schreibers Meadow.

Lessons from Popmpii - The Worst Part Of Pompeii's Destruction Isn't What You Think

You might be forgiven for thinking that the most disturbing part of the eruption
of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. was the sheer suddenness of Pompeii’s
destruction. But while the town’s destruction was unspeakably
tragic, the speed at which it happened wasn’t nearly the worst
thing about it. Two festivals happening in the town at the same time
meant the tragedy at Pompeii ended up so much worse than it should
have been. According to the book Pompeii: An Archaeological Guide,
the Pompeians were in the middle of a multi-day celebration in honor
of the emperor Augustus. Known today as the first emperor of the
Roman Empire, Augustus had passed 65 years earlier and had just been
made a god — as well as having the month of August named after him.
Pompeii’s streets were filled with public celebrations including
street musicians, fortune tellers, plays, and athletic events. Many
of those performers and athletes came from outside Pompeii to take
part in the event, as did the visitors and tourists who came to see
them. We can't know exactly how many extra people were in the town at
the time of its destruction, but it is certainly a lot more lives
were lost than might have happened if the eruption had happened a
month later. Even worse, the day before the eruption was Vulcanalia,
the festival of the god Vulcan — otherwise known as the god of fire
and volcanoes. It wasn't so much that the people of Pompeii didn't
get a warning that Mount Vesuvius was going to erupt, because there
definitely would have been smoke, small earthquakes, and loud
rumblings at the very least. It was more that, because of Vulcanalia,
they would have interpreted these signs as good omens from the god
rather than warnings to get out of Dodge. As far as the townspeople
cared, these warnings were simply signs that Vulcan was busy at his
forge inside Mount Vesuvius, perfectly happy that everyone was
celebrating his special day. Watch the video to lean why the worst
part of Pompeii's destruction isn't what you think.

Mt Baker's hissing volcanic crater

Our group of nine climbers summited Mt Baker in Washington's North Cascades mountain range. Near the summit, we stopped for a break at which time I videotaped and recorded the sound emanating from its crater. The hissing sound originates from the crater whereas the roaring sound is the wind.
Sherman Crater is at 2925 m
(9,000 feet) on the Southern Flank
of Mount Baker Stratovolcano

Mount Baker, also known as Koma Kulshan or simply Kulshan, is an active glaciated andesitic stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc and the North Cascades of Washington in the United States. Mount Baker has the second-most thermally active crater in the Cascade Range after Mount Saint Helens. Wikipedia

Tour of Sherman Crater, Mount Baker


D Tucker
Published on Jul 28, 2011
This video was taken July 6, 2010 by Dave Tucker. It shows the fumaroles just inside the west rim of Sherman Crater, at 2925 m (9600 feet) on Mount Baker Stratovolcano.  Mount Baker has the second-most thermally active crater in the Cascade Range after Mount Saint Helens.  The high wall of rock is a stack of lava flows erupted from the summit, 1000 feet above the fumaroles.  These lava flows are altered by sulphur-rich gas rising  from the magma beneath the volcano. Samples of gas were collected from the fumaroles, which vent water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), and other gases from within the volcano. People on the trip were volunteers organized by Mount Baker Volcano Research Center, Bellingham Washington.

From Wikipedia -  Mount Baker
The present-day cone of Mount Baker is relatively young; it is perhaps less than 100,000 years old.[5] The volcano sits atop a similar older volcanic cone called Black Buttes, which was active between 500,000 and 300,000 years ago.[25] Much of Mount Baker's earlier geological record eroded away during the last ice age (which culminated 15,000–20,000 years ago), by thick ice sheets that filled the valleys and surrounded the volcano. In the last 14,000 years, the area around the mountain has been largely ice-free, but the mountain itself remains heavily covered with snow and ice.[26]
Isolated ridges of lava and hydrothermally altered rock, especially in the area of Sherman Crater, are exposed between glaciers on the upper flanks of the volcano; the lower flanks are steep and heavily vegetated. Volcanic rocks of Mount Baker and Black Buttes rest on a foundation of non-volcanic rocks.[5]
Deposits recording the last 14,000 years at Mount Baker indicate that Mount Baker has not had highly explosive eruptions like those of other volcanoes in the Cascade Volcanic Arc, such as Mount St. HelensGlacier Peak, or the Mount Meager massif, nor has it erupted frequently. During this period, four episodes of magmatic eruptiveactivity have been recently recognized.[27][28]
Magmatic eruptions have produced tephrapyroclastic flows, and lava flows from summit vents and the Schriebers Meadow cinder cone. The most destructive and most frequent events at Mount Baker have been lahars or debris flows and debris avalanches; many, if not most, of these were not related to magmatic eruptions, but may have been induced by magma intrusion, steam eruptions, earthquakes, gravitational instability, or possibly even heavy rainfall.[26][27][29]
