Yes I lived thr...Love the picture of that mountain. Yes I lived through midnight at noon in the Yakima valley since we were in the direct path of the ash cloud that day. It was so frightening because the experts did not know how it would affect any of us. They kept telling us that the ash would have tiny particles of glass in it and it could kill if you breathed it in. But no one had any way of stopping it from getting in your lungs if you were caught out in it. Thank heavens it was not as they expected. It did not make breathing easy but it was only like breathing in smoke somewhat and is smelled of burnt wood and rock. We all survived and it was the worlds best fertilizer for gardens and crops that year. <br /><br />VanaVanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17307744180494432580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139686611124681982.post-11559198489971876742011-06-01T14:11:26.850-07:002011-06-01T14:11:26.850-07:00Thanks Calma, I wasn't.

I didn't move here until '01, but my brother was already living here when it happened. <br /><br />He said that Vancouver was West of the prevailing winds, so they didn't get much more than a dusting of fallout. Vanadarlin' was in Yakima and got pretty blasted by it.<br /><br />I do remember, it certainly made the national news.<br /><br />Is Mt. Ranier considered inactive at this time?<br /><br />Later,<br />JJulia Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08036299787190966783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139686611124681982.post-10010844161058610852011-06-01T14:03:32.213-07:002011-06-01T14:03:32.213-07:00Were you there when it blew?

Indeed, until late summer the mountain will retain much of its snow, even if we are broiling down in the valley. <br /><br />The good thing is that the volcano is now rated "inactive". It blew its top May 18, 1980, so it is still flat on the top from this side. The other side is blown out.<br /><br />http://www.olywa.net/radu/valerie/StHelens.html<br /><br />Here is a link for information about the eruption.<br /><br />Glad you find it "sweet". <br /><br />JJulia Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08036299787190966783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139686611124681982.post-27705876458016617482011-06-01T06:58:43.507-07:002011-06-01T06:58:43.507-07:00Wow!
