He spoke to 39 of the 57 people who lost their lives, trying to get them away from the volcano but they were outside of the mandatory evacuation zone. My Dad's Lt. told him to have breakfast with the family and then report for duty. We had waffles and a huge breakfast because we hadn't eaten or spent much time with him due to the volcanic activity. If he had gone into work at his normal time he would have been on the volcano when it erupted. My Dad is and forever will be, my hero.

@@saberiandream316 latest theories are yellowstone was just a thin patch of land, nothing more. But a very large pocket of pressurized magma was moving across land, trying to escape over thousands of years. Eventually when it slid under yellowstone the ground fell in and one of the world's greatest super volcanoes was unleashed. However it's over and done with, obviously there's a lot still active and going on but volcanologists say if it does errupt again it'll probably just destroy the park. Most of the pressure was gone a long time ago and the plates are still moving meaning in a few thousand years it won't even be under the park anymore.

I lived in Ohio when this happened, but originally had gone there from Washington. Professionally, at this time, I reported to a college provost who was a professional Ph.D. geologist, in fact, a vulcanologist. I recall going to the parking lot with him a few days after the eruption, armed with scotch tape, and picking up some of the exceedingly fine, but visible, ash from the eruption that had made it to Ohio. Seeing it highly magnified under polarizing light was beautiful and striking. These tiny particles were gnarly, rough, jagged, looked like they went through a war. Which they did. Very impressive.

My dad was 10 years old when it erupted. He's a historian born and raised in Vancouver, WA... He had been in the blast zone the day before with his family. Despite evacuations, access restrictions, and road closures, my unorthodox, reckless grandparents took their kids anyway. Whilst up there, my dad actually asked if it would ever erupt. My grandmother chuckled and said "Not in this century." It erupted the next day. They were actually on their way back to the same spot early in the morning when it erupted (day trips, didn't camp). My grandparents never believed Mt. St Helens would have a massive eruption; all tremors and signs of an eruption were false alarms for minor activity. Yes, they didn't care they were endangering their own lives and their children's lives, because they didn't believe there was anything dangerous, despite the warnings and restrictions. It shouldn't be a surprise my dad to this day still struggles with my grandparents about childhood trauma. This is a repost of the same story with additional clarification I didn't originally include clarification, because it didn't dawn upon me that some people would accuse me of fabricating this interesting story of my dad's childhood, probably because of my grandparents... If you want more of an idea of what kind of people my grandparents were, mostly my grandpa, he'd drag his kids along whilst he fished all day in the woods... They'd be there close to midnight, and they'd have to build a fire and huddle together for warmth, also hungry and thirsty because my grandpa wouldn't pack anything for them. Sometimes my grandma would come and occasionally pack hotdogs, but only bring her thermo with coffee and nothing to drink... Lol my dad says they had good Christmases, but they hardly got baths, because my grandpa has a weird thing about saving water. Kids would avoid my dad when he was a kid because apparently he smelled.

My grandmother always kept extra food and taught my dad how to dress do laundry make food etc in the dark at night with no lights on, so that they could survive another war without major disruptions to their lives. Anyone who had a sense of intelligence after WW2 knew another one was coming sooner then later. Many people don't understand habits of desperation while others sadly its all they know. The world wars were triggered by a drought and a great famine, water costs money so many reasons for many families to have built up mental trauma about these things. Our problems don't go away because we blame the older generations or leave it up to the new ones to deal with. We must be the change we wish to see in the world. Sometimes, it means watering the trees when everyone else believes in letting it all burn because they have "insurance" if a fire happens. The main herds are quite insane...survivors never forget.

I still have that jar after all these years. Many of the lives it claimed were of those who were nearby residents who had refused to evacuate when it was "suggested" to them; perhaps the most notable was an old codger named "Harry Truman" who lived on the mountain (yes, that was his name).

I was pretty sure he lived by Spirit Lake at the base of the mountain. His lodge was completely buried by the landslide.

My mom had told me stories about how there was a huge boom and so much ash suddenly on the bus and in the air when she was going to school, and traffic was in panic. Seems crazy.

Too bad they don't show what it looked like right after and what it looks like now. I remember going there on a field trip as a kid and its pretty amazing that that mountain basically exploded minus one mount wall side. Now there is a baby volcano slowly building up again in the middle of a giant hole where the mountain used to be.

I live about 40 minutes from mt st Helens. I was born in 92 so I only know the new look of the volcano. While rummaging through old photos I saw a picture of my dad standing in front of it before 1980 and didn’t believe that was what it looked like before the eruption. I don’t know why my little kid brain thought it could explode and not completely change the look of it 😂

That is correct. Also, it has a glacier forming next to the small fumarole that is gaining size every year due to being shielded from the elements because of the remaining half of the original peak. If that ever goes off, the resulting lahar will be way worse than 1980.

I remember Mount St. Helens well. I lived about 400 miles away, in Montana, and within a few days we had about 4 inches of light gray volcanic ash covering everything. I wouldn't wash away with water, since it just floated on top and wouldn't mix in. The whole summer was cold that year because of all the ash in the air. It's the first time in my life that I had to wear a coat all summer long when the temperature was normally in the 90's during the summer.. I guess that's a taste of a nuclear winter.

I lived in Portland at the time of the eruption, which occurred about 75 miles away from the city. The ash came down like a snow storm. We kids were upset because our mom wouldn't let us go out and play in it. She said she was worried that the ash might contain dangerous chemicals, but the real reason was that she didn't want her clean curtains and bed clothes dirtied 😁.

I'll never forget the first time I visited Mount St. Helens back in 1995. I was born nine years after the eruption; my family took us to Washington to visit some relatives that live in Seattle. During our trip we went to see the volcano, and let me tell you, it was astonishing. All around us we could see nothing but barren land, it showed us just how powerful mother nature could be. I'm 32 years old now, and this video got me thinking of that wonderful trip I had all those years ago. I looked at some current photos, and made me happy to see the greenery starting to come back. To this day I often wished I could've seen Mount St. Helens before the eruption. I remember my mother told me that she and her family once took a trip there back in the early 70's; they went swimming where the old lake once sat. She told me it was one of the most beautiful places she had ever been to.

I'll never forget this day. I remember going up the mountain to innertibe down the north slope at the turnaround. Seeing it now is like being in a different place. Those forests were so pristine, unspoiled, and the clearest waters you'll ever swim in. Now it's an ashen wasteland that is a far cry of what it once was. It's pretty hard for me to go up there now with my favorite places gone, and knowing that many people lost up there are just now part of the landscape. My Aunt knew two people that were killed in the eruption, Terry Crawl and Karen Varner were her classmates, and she hasn't been back since before it erupted. I also still carry some scars.....39 years later.

Had a similar experience in my youth (born in '93). Whenever my classes took field trips to the Tacoma History Museum, there was always one machine in particular that had a "watch-and-answer"-type pop quiz about famous state events, with narrated video footage included. Thing about it was, you watched the original clip with narration, the question popped up, and you could either answer it or check back on the footage (with no audio) if you weren't sure--and you could play it forwards OR backwards! As you might imagine, I was fascinated by the footage of both Mt. St. Helens' eruption and the demolition of the Kingdome in 2000, and I may or may not have single-handedly worn that machine out with all the times I played the footage of those two events back and forth. XD I'm sure many a kid, parent, and/or museum worker were mildly annoyed by someone like me being glued to that thing for so long.

IGIgaming You must be trolling

It was a strange sensation to go outside that morning and feel the ash 'raining' on you, like someone was sprinkling fine sand. Fortunately lived southwest of the eruption, and we only got a small amount, the main plume blew east.

I was nine, we lived in bellingham washington and I remember feeling the eruption if very slightly . I remember driving through the area a week later and seeing a layer of ash covering the land, my dad has a container of it still.

This happened a couple years before I was even born, but my elem school teachers used to talk about it like we had any frame of reference other than some passing mention or footage on TV from time to time. Thank goodness for technological advances that all me to see this whenever I want finally.

Signs you might be from Seattle: if it's not covered in snow or has recently erupted...regardless of height, it's a hill, not a mountain. We moved to Seattle from San Diego, a month after this. We still have the coffee can full of ash.

The thing you must remember is that this event was mostly peaceful.

Even popping in 100 years, thats an incredibly short amount of time between eruptions.

I lived through that. I was a child living in Yakima at the time. Getting ready to go to church and the skies got really dark. The next thing I knew everything was covered in at least a half of an inch of ash....everywhere! It was intense.
