'Bout 20 years ago, I got to visit what was left of Mt. St. Helens after the 1980 eruption. A big chunk of the mountainside ain't there anymore.

Note: This is stock photo. Back then, cameras used real film, and I'd run out before I got there.

i was but a wee lad when mount st helens BLEW . i remember even before it did they were talking about it on the news .
Someone was on the north side when it blew . If i remember it was perhaps a camera man or someone
who was surveying . HE just didnt realize how soon big mama was gonna PUFF AND blow her top .
One thing i do know
I had been NO WHERE NEAR IT when that big thing even startled rumbling those weeks and months before it blew .
No sir . And a heck no to boot .

I was briefly in Portland Oregon a few days after the eruption. The DUST! was terrible! Bad for the air filter on my car.
