One Snarky Mountain
Today is the 40th anniversary of the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption.
I wasn’t born yet, but I of course have seen videos of it. My dad has (had?) a little thingy that showed the different coarseness/fineness of the ash at like 10, 20, 50, etc. miles away from the eruption.
I actually think I captioned a video about the eruption back when I was working at Pima Community College (which was like a lifetime ago now, haha).
Anyway, I happened upon the Twitter account for the mountain, and whoever is running it has a great snarky sense of humor.
Nothing beats the Big Ben Twitter account, though:
Mount St. Helens
Today is the 40th anniversary of the famous Mount St. Helens eruption that covered a good section of the Pacific Northwest in some degree of ash (according to Wiki, 11 states and two Canadian provinces got ashed).
I wasn’t alive yet, but my dad was in Moscow starting his job at the U of I and he remembers how crazy it all was with the ash that Moscow got.
Here’s a quick vid on the eruption with some footage:
Here’s a longer documentary!
