I mean...it's probably just news filler for y'all, but I truly thank you, K5, for all of the time you spent on reporting on the 40th anniversary of the 1980 Mt. St. Helens eruption. You put so much time and effort into it. Even though I don't live in the area nor have I ever visited Mt. St. Helens, I find the subject very intriguing.
Thankyou for this I live in Leeds England but I can still remember the live pictures of the lahars flowing down the mountain like it was yesterday..I hope to visit one day. ❤
I was flying with CP Air from Amsterdam to Toronto and we flew right over the top of Mount ST, Helens I still have the picture after what happened, RIP to all that lost there lives
I know this is 2 years old now but just to add I was 15 and living at home in University Place, just outside of Tacoma when the mountain blew. My parents and I managed to get beyond the barricades when we got off the interstate and took the back roads well north of the blockades to get closer in to the mountain that afternoon after it went off. Came over from having watched the original documentary that was put together in 1980, after the explosion.
Mt Saint Helens is the youngest cascade volcano by far, at only 40,000 years old. Compared to the others that average 500,000 years old. And it was 9700ft tall. That's a lot of activity. You can clearly see on Google maps topography layer the rubble from ancient eruptions on even the south side of the volcano. Geologists say it's had eruptions TEN TIMES LARGER than in 1980. This cycle of devistation and rebirth has gone on here and all over the Cascades for over half a million years. But for Mt Saint Helens only a mere 40,000. My money is on more activity.
I've watched a few past anniversary videos on this eruption. I am most fascinated by the geological, environmental, after effects. It is amazing how nature cleanses, and rebuilds itself. The human stories of survival, gives record of man and natures tenacity. Thanks for the remembrance show, King5.
My son was born on May 25, and this was our entertainment while we waited. We were especially concerned about the direction of the ash cloud. But everything turned out okay for us.
I was born in 1984, but I am fascinated by volcanos. I lived in Spokane Washington and many long time residents had stories about what happened that day. My Biology teacher was camping as a teen that day in Spokane and he remembers looking up at the “scary black clouds” rolling in. Then it started to “snow”, when it was 50 degrees.
I would like to thank every person that has put Helens on report . I was 10 at the time it erupted Great Falls and Montana was shut down due to Ash fallen near 6 to 7 inches deep. We all had to stay in doors for a long time.
I remember the eruption back in 1980 I was living in Utah at the time. I was just a kid back then and it was all over the news. When I went to the Orgon Portland area in the early 90s there was still ash from the eruption. People were making glass out of it back then. We bought a glass egg. Don't know where it is now. From the Portland area you can see the four sisters, and Mount St. Helens was one of the four.
I remember watching on TV. I was 16. It still is fascinating. I remember the ash on our cars a couple days after the blast. On coal creek canyon outside of Denver
It has been 41 years since the blast. I always remember every year, every Sunday. I am a pariah in my family (black),state(Alabama). My brother(Donald) disresped me!I was a young ranger at Cle Elm ranger station.I do not care how anyone cares about what anyone says.I was there!

Watched it happen with my own eyes that morning at age 14 from an ajacent hilltop.

Thank you. This has been fascinating to me since it happened... I want to climb it someday... thank you for sharing

I remember watching the coverage on tv when it happened from my parents kitchen. I was 7 yrs old. Pretty wild. No volcanoes in Texas.
I was in Spokane on Fairchild AFB when the ash reached us. A day I will never forget!
I was 20 years old and living in Reno Nevada at the time.

I was 18 and watching it on tv. I could not believe it.
