OTD 45 years ago, at 8:32 AM, Mt. St. Helens erupted, displacing a cubic mile of debris, killing 57 people, darkening skies, and raining ash on 11 states.
I was camping with my girlfriend about 150 miles away in the Three Sisters Wilderness and we heard the blast. We heard a second big boom as it echoed off Mt. Jefferson or Mt. Washington. We got back to Portland in the mid afternoon in time to see the huge plume of ash trailing off as far as the eye could see.

Buenos dias, bonito domingo
La imagen muestra a una mujer con un sombrero de bruja verde, sentada con una pierna cruzada sobre la otra. Lleva un vestido verde y medias rojas, con botas negras. En su mano derecha sostiene un tazón de hierbas que emana vapor, y en su mano izquierda sostiene un bastón. A su alrededor, hay dos pequeños objetos flotantes, uno de ellos parece ser una rana verde. La mujer tiene una expresión serena y está mirando hacia arriba. En la parte superior de la imagen, se lee "¡Buenos días!" en un estilo de letra cursiva. En la parte inferior, hay un texto que dice "Conjuro del día: Que todo lo que llegue a tu vida te llene de alegría." El fondo es de un tono beige claro, lo que resalta los colores de la imagen.

in reply to Stuart Celarier • • •I was (far away) in high school, and I remember that the eruption was much much worse than anyone had expected, that you had to be much further away to be safe than anyone had anticipated.
It was very unsettling, and it made us wonder about whether our supervolcano, Yellowstone, was truly done or just waiting.

I just remember that day in 1980 being shocked. According to some news reports back then, it was assumed by some scientists that #MtStHelens was likely too old to blow her top. I’ll always sadly wonder if a reluctant mountain hermit had time to regret staying
up there..

in reply to Carolleisa • • •David Johnston certainly did. He was apparently the USGS scientist who was the most certain that it would blow, reluctantly took an observation shift as another guy had a meeting. Johnston made the final radio call "Vancouver, Vancouver, this is it!"

in reply to StarkRG • • •Robert Landsberg was a photographer who, in his final moments, wound the film he had just taken back into its canister, stowed the camera in his backpack and shielded it with his body.
Edit: I got him mixed up with Reid Blackburn who was also taking pictures on the final day, see my reply for more.
