Brings back some memories of the eruption in '80. We got a lot of ash in Kalispell...which is a good 500 miles NW of St. Helens.

Reminds me of a story my parents like to tell...they were camping on a flood plain in the East Kootenays (southwestern BC) and woke up and thought it had snowed. It turned out to be ash from St. Helens.[/b][/quote]
I lived along the east shore of Kootenay Lake back then, and I remember waiting alongside the highway for the school bus with my cousins. Both of them freaked out saying they felt something like an earthquake, but I didn't, and I wrote it off as the usual B.S. older cousins will pull on ya. IIRC correctly that is when she really blew, and there were stories of the Ainsworth Hot Springs going black at the time. I do remember getting the ash fall out though, and ash going as far north as Edmonton.
