Mt. Sanit Helens rememberace
I am not really sure that remembering the eruption of Mt. Saint Helen's is a cool thing to write about thirty years after it has happen is very appropriate because on this very date MAY 18th,1980 was a very frightening day. At eight thirty two A.M. Mount Saint Helen' s had erupted killing a lot of people and animals and of course plant life as well. The ash plum spread very quickly over the whole state of Washington and into the state of Oregon and Idaho as well, it was on a Sunday I remember that very well and also I remember playing in our neighbor's yard when my dad told me to come inside and put on a breathing mask because of the fear of breathing the ash into my young lungs. My sister Kylie and my mother were coming back from shopping at Sears in Pasco because I remember for sure I saw them coming home at ten o'clock in the morning I'm pretty sure my brother was with her too. I remember in late into the nineteen nineties around nineteen ninety five on a trip up to see my extended family there in Seattle Washington Chuck took us up to the site of the eruption which is located in the Cascade mountain range east of near Spokane Washington. Here is the Tri Cities Herald front page that I remember the most that invoke that scary memory as a child of eight years of age. This is what the area
of where Mount St. Helen's look like thirty years later, and to see it as it is now how could one ever forget what had happen that faithful May in 1980 at 8:32 am?
