I remember that.
We had some volcanic dust all the way down here.

I remember that too. Specifically about the old guy that refused to leave his house
Yep, Harry Truman was his name. Never found him.
They made a mistake not harvesting the downed trees.

Wasn't there an observer for the USGS that was too close and they never found him??

Yea or something like that. When I saw this thread it made me go back and read up on the events. The USGS guy was 6 miles away

Johnston Ridge Observatory, Mount St. Helens
This static image is from a USGS Cascades Volcano Observatory research camera located at the Johnston Ridge Observatory, north of Mount St. Helens. The view is to the south. This camera is intended to assist the USGS with situational awareness. At times, clouds, rain, and snow obscure...
says it refreshes every 5 min.
There was also a USGS guy found dead with his binoculars still raised to his eyes.
Flash fried, I think.
The ones in the area were all killed. Special forces disposed of the carcasses.

I drove through there 15 years ago while in Wash St getting some stuff done to my SHO on the cheap.
It looked like a war zone still. You could see layers of mud, trees, more mud, etc. Hard to imagine being anywhere close and making it through.

I remember there was some guy (maybe a scientist) that had a video camera on the back side of the volcano had video of him trying to survive & walk on the Mt. while this all was going on. Some documentary or some shit when I was a kid. Just remember thinking damn. How could you be on that mountain & live.

My car was covered in ash here
A friend of mine when I was a teenager moved to Minnesota from there a couple years after it happened, he gave me a glass jar of the dust but I have no idea what happened to it. Crazy it's been 41 years, damn i'm old!
I want to say I saw a doc on this recently where this guy had the camera up and it caught the perfect angle of half the mountain blowing off. Can’t remember if he survived or if it recorded him trying to survive but not making it.
There was a movie back in the 80s about this (Art Carney played the Truman guy and the person I’m thinking of might have been one of the main characters.
