Nah, the next eruption will be atomic! :eek:
 
I'm out 100 miles away from Mt. St. Helens...and it's really' amazing to know it's right in my state. the 1980 eruption happened a year before I was born so this is really an opportunity to see it again after hearing stories from my parents how they can see the ash smoke creeping miles and miles as far as Tacoma, Wa. and how the darkness days lasted for three days. My parents said that the ash piled up up to about 4 inches on the roads and how badly it affected the cars' engines. My mom went camping over at Spirit Lake a week before it was gone. The lake isn't there anymore.
The last time I went up there, I remember how it feels like standing on a landscape that looks like the surface of the moon. It is in the blast zone. I'm sure you know what blast zone looks like. It's a surrounding where the trees went down flat in little time as 20 seconds at a high speed. There's some old leftover cars, trailers, semi-trucks and cabins that are abandoned and can't deal with since they are totalled up in the ground or hugged around the trunk of huge trees. Hmm...mother nature can be uh...fiery and creative.
There's a interesting story where a 80 years old man, Harry who refuses to leave his cabin of 50 years near Spirit Lake with several warnings from the rangers as visitors, campers, hikers evacuated except the unfournately 68(?) missing people and Harry.
On the other side, It's exciting to see as mother nature gets alive on us. hehe. I was thinking that we'll see a bigger eruption where the moutain might crumble as it erupts times after times but wouldn't probably effect the populated areas such as towns and cities compared to 80'. No worries for me.
