    My late wife and I were working on a series of geologic maps for the US Department of Energy in 1980 and were working on the 2* quadrangle (1:250,000) containing Mt. St. Helens when it erupted. When we sent to preliminary draft off to DOE for approval we taped a cloud shaped piece paper, colored gray, over Mt. St. Helens labelled Hva, "Holocene volcanic ash (not yet settled out)." DOE told us just to use the pre-existing geology and not wait to document the changes.

      @@saxonlight Nope, It's funny to hear excuses from people trying to alter ecological facts about our forests to fit their narrative about how "beneficial" logging is and how forests are just a cash crop. Trees are part of an ecosystem that doesn't need your help to survive, they are home to abundant wildlife and will always be better off without logging. "Modern Forestry" or whatever you people call it nowadays is simply the abuse of our environment to line the pockets of those involved. There are benefits to old-growth forests that we will never experience if our young 50-year-old forests are continuously cut. Clearcuts look absolutely disgusting. Hard to believe logging companies are already taking advantage of an area that is just beginning to recover after a disaster like Mt. St Helens, but I expect that much from loggers.

      Weyerhauser owns 50,000 acres adjacent to Mt St Helens. Within a year of the eruption, they were harvesting enough fallen timber to build 85,000 homes. They had immediately done research to find out what the ash needed to support new forests. They terra formed their acreage and started replanting. Withing 20 years, they were harvesting and replanting. Mean while, the land controlled by the park service, still looked like the surface of the moon.

    I like this video based on science and facts. Here in Australia my doctor gave me a perfect remedy for the hard uncomfortable corns in my feet
    to use the pumice from a volcano and rub it on the corns of my feet and yes it works . Sawtell Beach Australia has pumice washed up in the sand dunes in the dry sand it
    I know because I have found a few months ago when I needed some for my feet. I now have a little basket full to keep some and give away too.
    On another note if The Wild Animal Elk who call Mount St.Helens home is it all year round?
    If it was found they suddenly exited the ares in a time they are usually found there is maybe a small window of the indication of eruption?
    May I say 5 to 7 days here in Australia before New Zealand Volcano did erupt my 11 year son and myself kept remarking how each time we were both feeling the ground unstable
    and it was when either of us stood in the bathtub to have our showers . I mentioned this to several people when they visited and showed them .
    It was 5 to 7 days from first feeling the shaking to the New Zealand Volcano.
    If it happens again I will surely let you know and test this theory?
    Ok thanks for being scientists who make mother nature exciting and interesting and a kind of food for thought for myself.
