@@josephprice3808 not very, it was the first and only time we saw something like that in real time during class. I was living in Snohomish County Washington at the time.
Those Cinder Cone volcanoes are literally built out of volcanic material: ash, cooled magma. It's amazing how much the lava dome has grown in 40 years. It would be truly amazing to be able to see its complete history. Every eruption it's ever had and how many times she has rebuilt herself. I have read about at least 1 prehistoric eruption at Mt St Helens that was far more powerful and devastating.
Everyone MUST visit Mount St. Helens at least once in their lifetime. She is in ruins but more majestic and powerful than any other mountain in the region. I live in New York and I make it a point to visit every year and take in the views and sit there and watch her in all her majestic beauty. It's a powerful feeling. Geological forces are far stronger than anything we humans can create.I have been to the area and it is amazing the kind of destruction the eruption caused, and it is equally amazing how resilient nature is and how quickly in geological timelines the vegetation and wildlife is returning to the area. WayerHauser owns most of the land in the national forest and weeks after the eruption, most of the devastation zone was returned to WayerHauser Logging Company and only the core area of about 5 to 8 miles within the crater is currently under Federal Govt. ownership. The WayerHauser lands are unrecognizable today and most people driving through the Gifford Pinchot National Forest (on their way to the Johnston's Ridge Observatory) think that they are not in the blast zone yet while they've been driving through about 13 miles of the blast zone already - because WayerHauser replanted the once barren land and it is full of adult trees and there is no sign of the devastation. The first signs of devastation only appear as you enter the Volcanic Monument site - because that's the only place where the USGS and the Forest Service have allowed natural re-growth.
At the time of the eruption, scientists predicted the area would never resemble its former vision in our lifetime. I think it's incredibly important that the USGS kept some portion of the devastation area in its natural form. To truly chart how long Mother Nature takes to renew after a volcanic eruption. Mt St Helens literally IS my bucket list. I was born a year before the eruption and it was th first and biggest fascination of my life. I only wish that it had been captured in real time video.
@@HunterSkowronPDX definitely 👍 it’s a bit weird but having been there very frequently, I’ve missed out on Adams ! It is the only mountain in the area I haven’t fully explored.. I’ve been to my hood and my rainier as well (many times)
My daughter’s family lives in the northern part of Vancouver Washington. They moved there in 2014. I was unaware of the 2004 eruption. Last time we visited, we went to see Mt St Helen’s. It’s amazing how undisturbed it seems. You’d never think that all those trees are less than 50 years old & that the area was a devastated wasteland in 1980. My daughter had just turned 4 during the eruption so, of course, had no memory of it. But you can see Mt St Helen’s from their patio & their bedroom window.
Nice to have King 5's informative insight into what Mt St Helen's is still actively up to. Greatful for the USGS, for studying in prior to 1980 eruption. We were informed it was beginning to come back to life.
I can't believe how intense it was! When compared to nuclear weapons it's quite alarming. If a hydrogen bomb is roughly 1000x an atomic bomb...Mt Saint Helens would come out to about 500 atomic bombs...nuts!
Coleman Remington ikr! Like a nuke would explode and have a large dust barrier smack against stuff but volcanoes have toxic Ash comin out and lava pouring down and A SLAB OF ROCK ON A NEIGHBORHOOD.
I must be the luckiest person to live so close to this beauty. This is my favorite place on earth. You would not believe how beautiful the mountain is, even after facing such destruction.
HI! Where did you get the footage from :27-:48? its amazing! is that under creative commons usage for RUclips or could you please tell me where you got it from? Thanks so much!
in 1980 i was 10 years old and living 525 miles to the south and i can remember one afternoon it was snowing ash and my dad telling us that the volcano blew up where we had just went camping a few months prior..
Don’t put rubber bands on your door unless you want to make it even easier for idiots to break in. If something makes things easier maybe you should listen to your intuition.
I remember that eruption. I was at school and my teacher actually turned on the t.v. to watch it. Ironically it was science class.
How often do people get a science lesson like that? :)

My boy scout troop originally wanted to visit Mt. St. Helens in 2004, but had to cancel due to the eruption dangers.
i’m with bsa troop 692 in tacoma, washington and we’ve been to mt. saint helens many times. it was absolutely amazing getting a look at what happened.
I saw this one morning on my way to school. What an amazing display of nature.

BZ Ent I have flown over it and it is a sight to behold.

You should check out mt Adam’s next time

And it erupted sideways
Mount st helens:I will have revenge on mount vesuvius for erupting on 1944 and it makes me angry every time
I have to say, seeing that second eruption on my birthday (October 1st) was something else...
Ah, American measuring systems never fail to amaze me. Imagine having so many aircraft carriers that they become a unit of measurement.
Jealous
Giving something an equivelent =/= measuring system
Well we can imagine how big it is better than just saying “149.6 inches”
Kind of like Europeans saying “10 football pitches in length”?
@@kevinwebster7868 no one says that

Amazing how quickly the glacier and top are rebuilding themselves already
I remember as a kid seeing the ashes and I live in LA.
Fascinating...
I was driving the first car we ever had as adults (me and kids mom) and it was kinda scary. First and only eruption ive ever seen
I followed that in Birmingham, Alabama. I can't be there now. Need to pray.
I remember my teacher talking about this an sticking my head out the window in napavine a seeing the smoldering giant right there in the distance.
Mount St Helens rebuilding itself?
2:47 Oh... good... 😬😬😬
in 1980 i was 10 years old and living 525 miles to the south and i can remember one afternoon it was snowing ash and my dad telling us that the volcano blew up where we had just went camping a few months prior..
Mount Saint Helens is quiet now.
Too quiet.
2:33 why is this guy agreeing so aggressively? Lol
