I lived in Sunnyside Washington when St. Helens made an ash out of herself on May 18 1980. We got covered by ash on that Sunday morning. My parents were taking an early walk and they said they could hear the volcano but had no idea what it was until hours later. We had graduation on the Friday of that week and we had to cram everyone into the gym rather than have an outdoor graduation. I understand now that Mt. Adams is now starting to also have earthquakes. My theory is that with more global warming and ice melting it adds a tremendous amount of water weight to the oceans and this added pressure is affecting the tectonic plates. This will cause an increase in earthquakes and volcanoes.
i lived in Washington back when St Helen's erupted... I lived in Browns Point across the bay from Point Defiance... I remember the day it erupted... There were tons of people stopped at all the view points along the road home... They were all looking in the same direction. We got lucky. And the winds actually blew most of the ash around us towards Yakima.... I sat a glass on my stepdad's Oldsmobile. And over night it filled the glass half full of ash.. It turned Yakima from Day to Night instantly... Cars air cleaners were clogged with ash...
Thank you for sharing your experiences. It must have been surreal witnessing such a historic event firsthand. Nature’s power is both awe-inspiring and humbling. We’re glad you stayed safe despite the ash fallout. Stories like yours help keep the memory of that day alive for those who didn’t experience it. Stay safe and thanks again for sharing!
I was in Spokane Valley Washington and it was unbelievable! They closed all the highways. Nobody knew if the ash was caustic or not.What a time to be alive and experience this☺️
I've hiked on Mt. St. Helens. The blast was devastating, to say the least. I can actually see the mountain from my upstairs window. We will see what happens.
Thank you for sharing your experience! Hiking on Mount St. Helens must have been an unforgettable adventure, given its powerful history. How incredible to have such a view from your window! Stay safe, and let’s hope the mountain stays calm for a long time. 🌋👀
Thank you for your kind words. We aim to share information without causing unnecessary fear. Experiencing a volcanic event must have been tough, and we hope you never have to go through it again. Stay safe!
Thank you so much! We’re glad you found the video informative. As for the background tune, it seems to be a popular choice for intense or dramatic content. We’ll keep it in mind for future videos-thanks for the feedback! 😊🎶
As of December 19, 2024, Mount St. Helens is at normal levels of activity. The volcano has seen an increase in seismic activity, but the earthquakes are small and not felt at the surface: Earthquakes: The Pacific Northwest Seismic Network has located about 350 earthquakes at Mount St. Helens since February 1, 2024. Most of these earthquakes are less than magnitude 1.0 and are too small to be felt. No signs of an imminent eruption: There are no signs of significant changes in ground deformation or gases.
I live in Milwaukie oregon. Before it went off. We had an earthquake about 3.0 with in 24 hr of the blast. I remember the fire alarm falling off the wall. That was when the top exploded off.
Thank you for sharing your firsthand experience! That must have been such a startling moment, especially with the earthquake hitting right before the eruption. Mount St. Helens’ power still amazes us today. We appreciate you being part of the conversation and sharing your story! 🌋💥
I didn't even hear the news of this and then I was thinking about Mt St Helens for no reason and looked it up the first eruption. Then I ran into this video and apparently it could possibly go off again? What the heck is going on!!?
Sso am i the only one to be noticing that Mount St Helen is a single peak? So ,im wondering why at 6.30 their is another peak spewing ash To the left of the screen in background????...
I understand why you'd think that... the thing about Mt st Helen's is when it erupted it blew out a huge chunk of the mountain... I think what you are seeing is a different perspective of that blast area
It is ~ but are Mount Baker (my backyard), little known Mt. Glacier, Mt. Adams, Mt. Hood and Mt. Shasta individual peaks or part of a connected, volcanic system?
As a matter of fact it isn't. Looking at Google maps I tried to replicate the angle and the closest other volcano is Rainier and it'd be to the right in the pic (yes true it could have been reversed). So couple reasons it's not Helens 1. Terrain color 2. The lake in this pic I believe to be a remnant crater from the same volcano that is spewing 3. Helens is own sigular rising peak not part of a mountain range
…oh, and Mt. Rainier (said to be the most dangerous volcano in the America, because of it’s high probability of eruption and proximity to the greater Seattle, WA area).
Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s incredible how far the ash traveled, even reaching Northern California. Nature’s power during the Mount St. Helens eruption was truly astounding. We’re glad you’re part of this conversation! 🌋🌫️
I north of Seattle, outside riding our horse, when St. Helens blew up. I heard it, the horse heard it, and I've been fascinated by geology ever since. Looks like she's likely to blow again, folks!
Thank you for sharing your incredible story! It’s amazing how a moment like that can spark a lifelong fascination with geology. Mount St. Helens is definitely being closely monitored, and while she’s restless, we can only hope science keeps us well-prepared. Stay curious and safe!
The mountain is due for a dome building eruption so this is normal. It could produce ash but it will not be anything like the 1980 eruption. Could some glaciers melt off? Yes, but it won’t cause the substantial damage like it did in 1980. I live less than 30 miles away from MSH and I’m right along the Toutle river. My home survived in 1980 and it will again. Vulcanologist follow the mountain very closely.
With the shifting of the magnetic poles and the Weakening of Earth's Geomagnetic Shield. The Earth is being bombarded with more Solar Particles and Radiation. With more particles and radiation warming up the Earth's atmosphere and Core, we can expect more earthquakes and volcaic activity. Just in the past 20 years there has been an increase in both. With the poles moving towards the equator at a faster rate than in the past. We can expect Solar Weather to have an ever increasing effect on Quakes and Volcanic eruptions.
Thank you for sharing your perspective! The shifting of Earth’s magnetic poles and the weakening of the geomagnetic shield are indeed fascinating scientific phenomena. While solar particles can impact Earth's upper atmosphere, especially during solar storms, current scientific research hasn't established a direct link between solar activity and increased volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. Most seismic and volcanic activity is driven by Earth's internal processes, such as tectonic plate movements and mantle convection. However, continued studies in space weather and its potential impacts on Earth’s systems could provide deeper insights in the future. Stay curious and keep exploring these intriguing connections! 🌋🌞🌍
Wow! What's it been, about 45 years? I have a picture from up in the Marble mountains, Siskiyou county, in california of the plume from st helens after it erupted. Thought we were being bombed😮
Thank you for sharing that memory! It’s incredible how far-reaching the eruption’s impact was. Seeing the plume from the Marble Mountains must have been both surreal and frightening. Nature’s power is truly awe-inspiring! 🌋😮
These geologic disasters are what shaped our planet. They were not disasters, but they were a part of the constant state of change here on Earth. And FYI, our climate has always been in the state of change, so quit panicking about weather and climate zone changes. It is all very natural and far more complex than any human could understand. Our SUN has more to do with Earths changes than mankind does.
What are you afraid of she has awakened and gone back to sleep before. Trump and his cabinet are not worried about a volcano. Don't worry be happy 😊😊😊😊😊
Wow, what an incredible experience to have been on the mountain the day before it erupted! It must have been surreal to be in Yakima when the eruption happened. Nature’s power really leaves an impression. Thank you for sharing your story! Stay safe! 🌋
Earthquakes, volcanos, drones, aliens....Im more scared of my own government.
Could not agree more!
All I can say is: pay attention and prepare for what may come
Me too!
Yeah there disgusting
Or police

The average height of the ocean's surface, or global mean sea level, has risen between 6 and 8 inches (15-20 centimeters) in the last 100 years.
The horrific beauty of volcanoes is breath taking.
True. Thanks for watching

Yes! It was surreal…
So crazy first comment is right where I live lol browns point area
I was in Centralia when it happened. The 18th is when the cloud headed for Idaho, Montana and Eastward.
The 25th is when the West Coast got hit.

Your upstairs window that must be a really lovely view.
@@helenestrada1913 It's very cool! I am to the southwest of the mountain. Trees are getting bigger and starting to block the view some. Lol
@@elonmuskevolution You're welcome, I love hiking up there.
Thank You for sharing.
Intelligence is as rare
As an Eruption.
Thanks for watching
Thank you for not scaring people with the background on volcanos. Ben through it already not sure want to have it go again.
Thank you for your kind words. We aim to share information without causing unnecessary fear. Experiencing a volcanic event must have been tough, and we hope you never have to go through it again. Stay safe!
Yup! We live in Gladstone. Pass on this happening again…
I swear I hear this background tune in nearly every earthquake video, great video by the way, very informative

Yes it was we had 2 to 3 inchs of ash hear in places in milwaukie. It was a nightmare. On my moms car was covered in 3 inch of ash.
We live in Milwaukie! I don’t remember an earthquake before. I was only 11 in 1980 though…

I'm not certain that even is Mt St Helens. Helens is its own singular peak whereas this looks like it's in a series of mountain ranges.

I lived in Northern CA. I remember having ash on the ground like a blanket of snow as far south as Bay Area!

With respect how accurate are these posts
Truth be told I'm kinda excited

Where we know it can't be like the 1980 that's not as much mountain to slide away

It is doing what it’s done since the 80’s eruption ! Nothing new , it may or not erupt sometime in the future !
Thanks for participating in this discussion.
Im more worried abt mt baker or glacier peak or ranier . And pilchuck. ...
How many times is he gonna repeat the same thing.
almost never watched this because I thought it was CNN. What's with A Cooper?
Thanks for watching and your kind consideration.

I live in Yakima Washington the day before Mt. St. Helen's went off I was on the mountain. And when it blew I was in Yakima .

You are a joke 😂😂😂😂no one know
