One can only wish for the sharks to come back

I remember 1980 eruption. That ash chokes air filters on cars, grits up you hair, gets in the corner of your eyes, aggravates your existing hayfever, and makes for gray boogers. And unlike a silica based ash or pumice, it does not insulate against electricity. It conducts quite well and sometimes will short out electrical serivce. Just think gray snow. If it's on your car you can't wipe it off 'cause it will scratch paint; gotta bLast it with a hose. It took about 4 years to make it totaly disappear.

Ya I could see the steam from my house. Looks like a cloud at this point, kinda hard to distinguish it. Not like the eruptions of the 80's. Those buggers were like looking at atomic bLasts up close.

I will try and take some digitals of it if I can get away from the house to a better vantage point. (Broke no gas no money.)

Fear not, the eruption today from our POV looked more like a could floating over the moutain than an eruption. I am on the south east side of the moutain and unless it blows HUGE, it will just look like a small eruption to us.

Although we did get a light, very light, dusting of ash. It has been over twenty years seens we have seen ash fall from the sky. I can remember the ash after an erutption, being so thick it was breaking branches off of trees because it stuck to the leaves like snow.

I used to live in Portland and many of my relatives still do. Knowing them they are probably wigging out over it right now. I am still waiting for the never-ending phone call.

Sadly, I wasn't born in time to see the first eruption but at least I can see this one!
