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:
