Here's a link to a video my Aunt did three years ago to commemorate the 30 year anniversary of the Mt. Saint Helen's eruption in 1980. Today marks the 33rd year since its eruption. I have hear this story many times in person, and its hard to imagine these events happening and what must have been going through the heads of those who were in charge of disseminating information on the eruption.
If you remember this, it would be neat to hear your thoughts and the events surrounding your life at this time. Especially those who lived in the area when this happened.
