Mount St. Helens eruption is wild.🤯

My brother's teacher gave him a jar of ashes she got there… in a Hellmann's mayonnaise jar with the date. It's probably still under my parents sink. Lol

That's awesome!

@JimmyC1366 This is Mother Nature... Climate changers think they can control her So stupid

I remember when that happened… Just seemed unbelievable at the time. Living in the Southeast and being 16… volcanic eruptions happening in lower 48 was not on my radar at all.

Right, isn't Hawaii all volcanoes?

Back then, we were headed into a new ice age and the ozone layer was gonna be gone by Y2K.

I lived in Vancouver, WA when this happened on May 18, 1980… everyone watched it erupt all day. Unreal.

I lived in Iowa at the time of the eruption, and there was a fine layer of reddish dust on my car. Sunsets were beautiful there for a bit.

And after the explosion a gorge was left. Geologists have said (paraphrase) "if we hadn't seen this happen, we would've said the gorge was millions of years old"
