For those of us who live in the Pacific Northwest, the spector of volcanos is an ever present, beautiful danger. 37 years ago one such beautiful volcano rumbled to live and blew her top at 8:32am. Mt St Helens is well known due to this incredible eruption and is now one of the most heavily studied volcanoes in the US. In honor of the anniversary of Mt St Helens blowing her top, my kids and I enjoyed this fun YouTube song.

I was in third grade when this happened. I remember that my ultimate favorite teacher in the whole wide world had gone west to help with clean up and she brought home jars of ash and gave each of us one as a keepsake. I had that until nearly ten years ago when I donated it to my son's high school science class.

I have a jar of ash on my computer desk. My momma was pregnant with me when it happened, but as I live at the base of Mt Rainier, just north of Mt St Helens and considered the most dangerous volcano in the US, I am hyper aware of this great state's volcanic history.
It's so cool that your teacher gave you ash. It's really a tangible reminder of the deadly potential of the mountain.

I almost hated to part with it. I remember feeling how fine it was between my fingers. My teacher was very descriptive in teaching us how terrible it was; imagining the world looking all grey and breathing the fine baby powderish ash, and how sticky it was if it got wet. WOW, it's amazing I remember all that!

We went last summer and it is amazing to see entire forrests still mowed over and lying on the ground like match sticks.
