That is a pretty damn close shot of the Eruption...too close

I'm pretty sure the movie Dante's Peak was only 23 years ago.

That poor grandma

If only she hadn't denied the science of the disaster happening around her, putting other people at risk............

We shouldn't be calling Helen a saint anymore after she aborted her magma baby.

Unfortunately, her baby was taken from her the way of Sharon Tate.

Tate's baby was not removed from her body.

 

[ABM]

Tate's baby was not removed from her body.

By no fault of her own, no.

May have been Chipotle

 

[Minstrel]

May have been Chipotle

Chipotle has an alibi, it didn't exist yet. So the culprit has to be Taco Bell.

 

[THE HCP]

Was getting ready to go to church with the fam...... totally remember it.

 

[UncleCliffy'sDaddy]

My oldest son took his first steps that day.....I should have taken it as some kind of warning........

My madre still has a cup of mine that was made from the ash they got me from Saturday market.

I have posted my fascinating story on this event before. I do not wish to retype it. Those of you who don't memorize my posts will have to suffer in ignorance.

For the archaeologists of a thousand years in the future who discover this buried message board, and know my story about finally washing the lava off my car over a year later when I quit Boeing and moved to Bellingham, I will add this picture to describe the Flintstonian car wash at which I stopped.

I saw it while driving to a topless bar on or near Barbur Blvd. My dad saw it from his office window on the upper level of a tall office building near the Lloyd Center.

They had one of those near the Rose Garden.

I was on the Columbia water skiing , it was one of those days where it was crystal clear and everything looked close up. We immediately saw the plume but the explosion we didn't hear at all, went right over us.

What a disaster! Towing anything with a Ford Maverick is absurd.

It erupted for hours.

I never heard the explosion and I was in Lake Oswego.

They heard it in Seattle and Southern Oregon.
