Voltageman Posted December 19, 2006 CID Share Posted December 19, 2006 This image should be in "real time". http://www.fs.fed.us/gpnf/volcanocams/msh/ They are calling it a "minor eruption". But, you never know...You may catch the first images of a major one... The image below was from right after it first started to erupt today.

Regards Roco uk It's in the northwest US, in the Cascade Range. Interestingly, this area also happens to be one of the snowiest on earth. The Mt. Baker Ski Area in northwestern Washington had 1,140 inches of snow (almost 100ft! ) for the 1998-99 snowfall season. This broke the previous world record of 1,122 inches, set during the 1971-1972 snowfall season at Mt. Rainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dn0 Posted December 20, 2006 CID Share Posted December 20, 2006 Thanks Guys , zoomed right in on it , I was looking at Mt St Helens St, Rosamond, Kern, California 93560, United States it looks kinda strange there also , BTW you got a mighty big country there Everything is strange in California (kidding Cali folks) And as for size, It is a 28 hour drive (straight thru) from where reside now (Nebraska) back to Portland, Oregon, where I lived before. And that is a little less than half way across the country. I have never been to the US East Coast, though. No desire, I prefer the mountainous Wide Open West......

EWO Posted December 20, 2006 CID Share Posted December 20, 2006 Should have been with me and my late wife that Sunday morning back in May, 1980. We were camping about 7 miles South West of St. Helens. Made for some beautiful photos that morning about 9:30am. Just glad we camped where we did. I was living in Vancouver, WA. then. Moved to PA. that Thanksgiving - that put me near 3 Mile Island. Just my luck I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thanks for the correction, 1980, not 1981. My experience was the dusting on everything in the central US, not a monster explosion like you must have witnessed, EWO.

EWO Posted December 20, 2006 CID Share Posted December 20, 2006 In the ash plume, it was amazing watching it boil and all the lightning that was flashing. That night when we got back home we learned of all the destruction. Have quite a few photos from that day. 26 years hasn't been real hard on them. I'll see if I can get some good enough to post on this thread. Loved living in WA. Especially no state income tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn0 Posted December 20, 2006 CID Share Posted December 20, 2006 That would be great to see some personal photos as opposed to all of the stock photos we have seen numerous times over the years. As for living in the NW, never ever bored; there was always a new forest service road to explore, or a new lake to fish.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EWO Posted December 20, 2006 CID Share Posted December 20, 2006 Pretty much so. Cheap camera tho. We were camping, CG helo. came over us so we got out of the small canyon we were in and at the top we could get radio reception - we learned of the eruption. That was about 9:00 am. so we headed toward St. Helens. Found a high logging road and started taking pics at about 9:15 or 9:20am. Ran out of film, drove back to Vancouver, got bucket chicken, film, friend and back to the high road. Late that afternoon started hone and came down thru Cougar. Thats when we got in the ash problems. Hell of a mess. Hope you enjoyed. Lotsa memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dn0 Posted December 21, 2006 CID Share Posted December 21, 2006 Awesome, EWO, thanks for sharing those. I noticed that the mountain seems to look smaller towards the end of the string of photos. Is that because you were running? LOL. I'm curious, what did it sound like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWO Posted December 21, 2006 CID Share Posted December 21, 2006 We heard no sound. Wind was at our backs I may have gotten up on the tailgate of my pickup. 77 Chev. 1/2 ton. I have some more pics.
