[@cult-of-sporque]

If I lived there, I would have stayed, too. I don't think I could live with losing something like that.

[@pomerlain8924]

Well he did say the mountain was a part of him. Now, he is a permanent part of the mountain. It was newsworthy to see a stubborn man refuse to leave his home, but you do wonder if the news channels realized that they were recording the last few days if his life. He basically signed his death warrant by refusing to leave. Though dying instantly in a volcanic eruption is a lot better than slowly withering away over the years.

[@cameroncampbell6635]

The reason Harry Truman didn’t want to leave was cause he was alone, His family had died and was buried nearby, The lodge was really the only thing he had left, so he was going to go with it. This sounds weird but with Harry being 80 years old, I totally understand why he would want to leave with his life work.

[@12themilkman]

@@cameroncampbell6635 yeah, it’s a sad deal. Very difficult to gauge exactly what one might do in his shoes. If he had evacuated, think how devastated he would’ve been to see that big beautiful house by the lake that he and his family had known for so long completely destroyed. There are many things worse than death, and I can imagine that might’ve be one for Mr. Truman.

[@cameroncampbell6635]

@@12themilkman I mean it was ether spend your last week alone with your life work with your pets and have painfulness death ( mostly cause of how quick the volcano would have killed it ) or die alone 5 years later in a rest home

[@chiasanzes9770]

Yes spend rest of his next few months or weeks on bed in some old folks home is not so great. You only stare at the ceiling mouth open without no one to visit you there. This was a much better way for Harry to go. He had such a incredible past life full of adventures and dangers as well fun that he did not care anymore if the mountain blows. My father did something similar he either wanted to leave his home move old folks home. Sofa pottatoes here will differ

[@danbruner3563]

On May 17th the day before the eruption the Sheriffs Dept. made one final trip to Harry's Lodge to see if they could get him to come down off the mountain. Harry had 16 cats from what I read, however, while they were visiting Harry one of the deputy left his car door open and either later that day or the following the deputy found one in his patrol car. He knew it could've come from only one place when he was interviewed a short time after. This is a true story from what I read. He said that he had left his car door open while they were at the lodge and the cat must have climbed in and got in the floor of the backseat and rode down the mountain with them when they left. After reading that I thought, "Man! If that cat could've talked!"

[@CaliforniaBushman]

Trying to wrap my head around the fact that Spirit Lake was hit with a 300 - 500mph solid wall of 500°F+ vaporized rock, pyroclast, and tree trunks which wiped out the lodge's houses, docks & boats in less than a second, and pushed all the lake's water 800 ft up the north canyon walls. Then dropped 200 vertacle ft of new lake bottom on top of the old lake bottom. Then the water that didn't boil away, rushing back down off the north canyons onto the new bed, raising the pool elevation 200 ft! Everything in this footage pulverized in an instant and likely buried under the lake bed. These scales, speeds, temps, and cataclysmic shock waves aren't really conceivable.

[@ogs1mpson609]

At least it was a quick death. If he was indoors at the time of the eruption I doubt Harry even had time to realize what was happening? How much time do you think it took for the blast wave to hit the lodge? Judging by videos I’d say 30sec to 1min

[@CaliforniaBushman]

[@ogs1mpson609]

Jeffrey A. Smith not fair for the cats, but imagine the awesome life those cats had on spirit lake compared to other kitties. As much as I’d love to imagine that Harry would’ve been thrilled to see the eruption, I think the natural human reaction is to run and duck for cover.

You know, it was certainly Mr. Truman's right to stay and "go down with his ship", I suppose; but I've always thought that the least he could have done was to let them relocate his kitties (which he had quite a few of). At least they would have survived. After all, they weren't given any choice. The only blessing, for both him and his cats, is that it happened pretty quickly; I think the estimates were that Spirit Lake was overwhelmed in something like 30 or 40 seconds. Harry Truman was definitely a character.

He took 15 cats with him to the grave when he could have let them be evacuated and given to good homes. He hated all sorts of people, even young children and the elderly, so I doubt anyone who knew him personally missed him once he was dead.
