I remember anticipating the eruption Mt. Helens several weeks before it occurred. And I vividly remember the morning it actually erupted 42 years ago on 5-18-80! My spouse was watching TV in the family room and I was watching TV in the bedroom when it came over the news around 8:40 a.m.! People had been evacuating for a while before the eruption, but it was still amazing though expected, as no one knew exactly when it would happen. I had family in Washington, and visited up there a while after the eruption, when all had quieted down again. I still have the little "lava" dog that I bought in a souvenir shop up there. I remember seeing Mt. Rainier and being in awe about how beautiful it was, an innocent-looking snow-covered mountain, which COULD erupt same as all those other mountains I used to ski on in the Cascade Range! But you wouldn't find me hiking in the crater on Mt. St. Helens, for any amount of money! Our Planet Earth is VERY active and although I know that today, there are sensors on all the mountains in the "Ring of Fire" -- I'm not taking chances of half a mountain coming down on me, like it did that one man who said "Vancouver, Vancouver -- this is it, this is it!" as he was watching the mountain erupt. He lost his life. I'll never forget that! It's bad enough that I live within about 180 miles of Yellowstone, and if that massive crater ever goes, I'm toast! But you can't live in fear, so if it blows, it blows! Scientists say it could erupt tomorrow or 100 years from now, but that it WILL erupt some day. As long as Old Faithful and all the mud puddles keep bubbling, I know the pressure probably won't build up, but I've stopped keeping track of it! It's not worth living in fear, what will be, will be!

You can rest a bit easier about Yellowstone--the latest science points away from any kind of catastrophic super-eruption occurring, and instead hints more towards "this place is really, really active, maybe watch out for hot stuff idk". I remember being fascinated by the idea of a supervolcano going BANG all at once, but more likely you'd get some kind of ongoing volcanic event spitting out magma and gases. You'd maybe see a drop-off in tourist numbers in the park, but everybody dies? Probs not.

Last summer or the one before, I had 3 telephone calls to evacuate when there was a forest fire about 15 miles north of my home. I kept my eye on things and decided if I saw flames, I'd evacuate.

I remember the morning it erupted. I heard two large blasts and wondered what it was. I was living on Whidbey Island and long distance away. Many got ash dumped all over the areas they lived but we were lucky and none landed on the Island. There was a crusty old codger living on the mountain and he refused to go saying he'd have no life without his beloved cabin there so if it goes he wanted to go with it. He was indeed on the side that went and perished that day along with fifty some odd who also lost their lives. I talked to one guy who was racing over a hundred miles per hour to escape the pyroclastic cloud heading his way. He past others in campers and such, he made it, they didn't. Mother nature is like being on the ocean; it's not forgiving and doesn't care who you are. If your in the wrong place at the wrong time it's over. Being the owner of a small fishing vessel I came to know that very well and was lucky to escape a few unpredicted storms. Water up to my knees, my deck hand tied to the drum bailing as fast as he could with a five gallon bucket. Once we ready safe haven that guy hit the road and stuck out his thumb after accusing me of being insane for doing such a job, lol. I'm 70 now and wonder how I made it this far but my thrill seeking adventures are just about over, I did say just about so we'll see what happens. God willing and the creek don't rise I'll be here next year to enjoy my kids and grandkids.

Thank you to the curious folks who need to know why. They do the hard part and all we have to do is pay attention when they tell us what they found. This was fascinating. I was in Salem, OR when the mountain blew her top. A light coating of ash was on everything outdoors. It was gritty and you had to rinse the cars off--sweeping or brushing it off would scratch terribly. It clung to windows and window screens. Our skies didn't go dark like some places in Washington did. Friends in Yakima said it was like midnight at noon. Seeing the little green shoots coming up, seeing the tracks of wildlife in the deep ash and then spotting the first small herd of elk, rabbit tracks, too--it was so welcome! There was such great speculation that pretty much all wildlife was gone and it would be a long, long time before anything green would be spotted. Mother Nature surprised us and it was such a relief. There were tears of joy in those first signs of life. I still have a tiny vial of ash from the event. Ugly stuff, really. Cinder-y. Medium-dark grey. I hope it stays calm. I've moved closer to it.

I lived in Portland when it happened & got to go on a field trip to the site ~ 3 years after the eruption, and even seeing the damage in person, the brain just refuses to accept the true scale of it.

That may or MAY NOT suggest that the lake is on the top of the mountain but "and" does not definitively mean he did those things immediately in order or even sequentially in order, just that he did both. He could have either swam in the lake after coming down or swam in the lake before going up or even did those things in separate trips. All his sentence says for certain is that he did those two things sometime during his trips as a child. Also, maybe you should make sure you have more than a grade-school kid's level of grammar if you're going to call someone else a kid. It's *you're a pathological liar, not your.

Soon after this documentary was made, a four year eruptive period began forming another higher lava dome behind the 80s lava dome back up near the south rim. Crazy cool to see in real time the mountain rebuilding itself.

I was working on the Nez Perce prairie southeast of Lewiston, Idaho when the volcano went off that quiet clear morning. We received about a half inch of ash. We were issued masks and advised not to wash cars because of the fine silica in the ash. The ash would rise from the grass for weeks afterward until rain or snow would pack it down. I was interested in the atmospheric refraction of sound, which produced a 'zone of silence' for about 60 km.around the explosion, outside of which residents heard sounds like gunfire. Reports of dogs being aware of the explosion minutes before bring audible to humans.as distant as Vancouver and in Victoria, Canada. Even inside a TV station that was broadcasting. Eerie, but marvelous when you take time to comprehend such forces. Windows rattled and window shades moved as far as 160 km. away.

"this is not a scene residents want to see repeated" - erm, what exactly is anyone supposed to do other than leave the area? if you live in the shadow of a stratavolcano i think you should probably accept that it might erupt and compromise your property. god i hate the anthropocentric attitude, it's like moving to the everglades then complaining about the alligators that were there millions of years before you

I remember when St Helens was steaming when I was a kid, looking at it every day for years in awe & how amazing a sight it must have been to see the actual eruption & mom telling me she saw it happen on a date with my dad at Rocky Butte In Portland OR the pics they took are wonderful & terrifying even from nearly 50 miles away. I still live within sight of St Helens Mt Hood & Mt Rainier our little corner of America is beautiful I couldn't imagine living anywhere else.

I remember the day it erupted. I was spraying our apple orchard and so could not hear the explosion above the machine noise. I could see a large black cloud rising above Mt. Adams which obscures our vision of St Helens. Even with all the news about it becoming active, I thought "that is a funny place for a thunderstorm to come from.." There was lightening in the cloud and it was higher than any thunderhead I had ever seen. Thirty minutes later it was like a curtain being pulled over the sky and it was dark and gritty and smelled like the inside of an old fireplace. That summer's temperature never rose above 90 degrees, whereas it frequently is above 100 for several days. Every time the wind came up (which it does almost daily in the Yakima Valley) there was gray dust in the air. Despite all that, the growing season was one of the best we have ever seen because of the cheap phosphate fertilizer we got for free... I live down wind from St Helens, Mt Adams and Mt Rainier. There is another peak much lesser known also that Is dangerous. Glacier Peak lies between Rainier and Mt Baker and is considered to be as dangerous as St Helens. For those whose comments say St Helens is dormant again, there is a good reason why the Yakama natives call her the "angry little sister" in their legends.

I was 11yrs old when Mt St Helens blew. Lived in Spokane, Wa at the time, had about a foot of ash fall on everything. It was incredibly hard to get rid of because ash doesn't dissolve. My little brother and I used to make mini volcanoes out of it and blow 'em up with firecrackers. The good ol' days.

Charlie reminds me of my old Geology instructor-taking us on field trips and laughing at us as he made us scale cliffs, run along their tops (to keep up with him) and crawl over huge boulders down to the beach, where he grilled us on geology stuff while we asked dumb questions. What I learned from that class is that geologists are all small boys -or girls- who like rocks, and they aren't afraid of anything!

My grandfather was a soil scientist, and a very good and late friend, a very old friend of my wife's family, had put in a lot of study on geology. They both had a fair amount to say on the Channeled Scablands and the numerous basalt formations that have been a part of everywhere I've lived in WA-E, since at least 1978, anyways, so most of my life. My friend- his second daughter gave his eulogy, and she did specifically say most people saw boring basalt rocks- and she was right, he could talk for hours just about their geological significance. She was a friend of my wife's- I don't think his daughter ever really knew fully how I liked to match him on droning conversations, because I found it all fascinating- we were both walking encyclopedias comprised of different tomes, and it was a honor to compare notes with him.

Was flying down the Columbia River gorge that morning and noticed the blackest storm ever. I wondered how the weather service missed this one. I got Troutdale FSS on radio for a weather update and they reported it was raining sheets of mud. I asked for clarification and learned the mountain blew. I flew to the west side of st Helen's. What I saw was total chaos, lightning coming out of ash that were cracking the radios, what appeared to be a wall of mud coming down a river taking bridges with it. Logs floating down river
