Mount St. Helens

that day was deadly

I remember this as if it were yesteday.

Wow you are lucky! We watched the film in gegoraphy it was really sad, all of the people in our class were crying and really confused as to why this woman and tree planter people comtinued with their work on the side it exploded surley they wouldve known that the volcanoe would destroy it right??

You do know it wasn't technically active it was dorment or dormint i don't kow how to spell though, anyhoo the dormentvolcanoes are the most dangerous as you never know ifthey could or when they could explode

The pictures at the beginning are Mt. Rainer.

I was 11 when it blew. My parents were in Calif. and my brother and his wife was taking care of me, we didn't know about it until my brother and I had to go into town for something and noticed the sky was black in that direction where I was living at the time,(Clackamas,OR) it was sunny.

Just shows you how powerful the Earth is

I was 20 years old then and visiting a friend in Richland, Wa aprox 50 or so miles to the East from St Helens. When it went off... it shook the windows and made a loud boom. I knew what it was. After awhile I got on my motorcycle and headed to Kennewick and half way there ash was falling on me. Strange day. Strange experience.
