Or earthquakes! At least if a hurricane is coming we have days and days to get out of the way. And I do! Unlike some people who choose to sit tight and wait it out.

I remember I was running an errand for the teacher I TA'd for and was on my way back when I looked out a window that just happened to face St. Helene's and was shocked to see a substantial amount of smoke and ash coming out! I ran back to my class and told them it was erupting and we all went outside to watch. Of course nothing much happened, but it was still definitely a sight to see. We didn't get any ash in Vancouver, though :PAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11268141062322845874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7745956082016983227.post-78208379001325804242010-05-18T09:53:04.420-07:002010-05-18T09:53:04.420-07:00That was a scary time for all of us.

I was also pregnant with your brother and worried about the risks to him. We were so blessed to have your grandpa and grandma to watch you for us.<br /><br />The picture is probably taken in early 1980 (Jan or Feb). Grandpa thought his lung problems were from cleaning up the ash at his business and the farm and house. He was diagnosed with lung cancer the last week of May.<br />Mount St Helen's was so beautiful before the eruption. I can only imagine what it will be like in you grandchildren's lifetime.<br />At least the creativity of the northwest people were able to salvage something pretty from the devastation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7745956082016983227.post-60301006125410746982010-05-18T09:08:36.686-07:002010-05-18T09:08:36.686-07:00I've never seen any ash pieces before.
