If you’re feeling antsy about today’s divisional game between the Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers, you’re not alone. Even Mount Saint Helens is on pins and needles.

The mountain’s parody account spelled dire consequences for Washington residents if the Hawks lose the game.

“If the Seahawks don’t win today I’m taking out the west coast,” the account posted on X Saturday.

The tongue-in-cheek tweet generated quite a few explosive reactions from X users.

Some took a more ‘punny’ approach, taking punches at the mountain’s warnings.

“Blow your top, eh? You HAVE no top left, shorty!” user @lynsioux wrote.

“Please calm down, you’re making an ash of yourself,” user @BangpdsEomma wrote.

Don’t assume San Franciscans are spared from the purported risk of impending natural disaster. The San Andreas Fault parody account on X set its own stakes for the 49ers.

“If the @49ers don’t win tomorrow I’m gonna do a megaquake,” the account said. “No pressure bitches.”
