You can see whats left of a plume still venting. We have had 3 earthquakes of 3.5 this weekend and this caused venting and rock fall. Just never know what she's going to do from day to day.

I lived in Seattle in 1980 when she blew. That is a fine childhood memory <img src="/adventist/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Here's a pic of Mt St Helens 2 years afore she blew - Spirit Lake is in the foreground..

I spent some of my childhood summers up at Spirit Lake at the Boy Scout Camp (my father was Camp Director). I can STILL remember all the Indian legends of Patoh (Mt Adams), LooWitLatKa (Mt St Helens) and WyEast (Mt Hood). And the Bigfoot legends too!!

I hope there wasn't damage to anything!!

[Amelia]

No serious damage. Many reports of bookcases, lamps etc going over. Lots of reports of animals going nuts prior to the first quake. I woke up during the first one as it was at like 1:30am. But I didnt know what woke me at the time. I remember waking and saying "what"? and then looking at the clock and going back to sleep. LOL

That is SO true. I lived in Denver at the time - and our cars were covered with ashes - and our air was so hazy we could hardly see or breath. I can imagine how it was in WA state.

Oh about 100 to 140 miles give or take.

It was bad here in WA state with the ash. At the time I was living in Othello WA and the Ash was bad. I can remember having to work at clean some of the ash arround my grandparents house up. I remeber how the clouds looked and how fast it got dark. So dark you could not see you hand in front of your face.

Hi, Amelia!

In 1979, I became an employee of Glendale Adventist Medical Center. Part of the orientation included a presentation and printed material from the Chaplain's office. One of the booklets was "God and Human Suffering". I put it in my GAMC file.

After the horrible eruption of Mount St. Helens,, I happened to be looking through my employment file. When I saw the cover of that booklet "God and Human Suffering" I gasped. There was a picture of Mt. St. Helens and Spirit Lake in pristine condition!

I vaguely remember my family visiting the area in the early 1970's and being impressed by the beauty of the mountain and lake.
