Was washing my sweet ride and couldn’t figure out WTF was happening.Ice_Holmvik said:
Damn we are connected in some odd way. I too was in Riverfront Park that afternoon. Eating an ice cream with dust flakes on it with my friend Corey. I remember riding my bike thru 6 inches of powdery ash for sometime after.GrundleStiltzkin said:
41 years ago today I was at Riverfront Park w/ friends and suddenly the sky began to turn black...we ran to shelter. When it got light again outside, it looked like a nuclear landscape. Perhaps one of the freakiest and scariest thing I had ever seen..#MtStHelensCFetters_Nacho_Lover said:
I was 7 1/2 and lived in west Seattle. Friends would talk about ash covering the sidewalk yet I have no recollection of seeing anything in our neighborhood.alumni94 said:

Was in Spokane for older sisters marching band in Lilac Festival parade. Parents never listened to radio in the car. Drove around all day oblivious and only found out when getting gas around 4 in Airway Heights the volcano blew that morning. My father the Korean War vet of course decided to soldier on and make it home to Omak. Darkness descended before we made it to the end of Airway Heights, where the Texas BBQ place had the goat tied up to entertain bratty kids like us.PurpleThrobber said:

Like midnight at 5 pm. Headlights were worthless. Three inches of ash at least every hour. Wrecks everywhere. Something out of Mad Max. Had to stop twice and huddled with people we barely knew. My father, always hard headed, fashioned a filter out of cardboard and tshirts for the Ford fairmont wagon and we soldiered on into the darkness. Relief came first around Grand Coulee, ash cloud was getting light enough to see more than 20 feet ahead.
Normally a 3 hour trip, took 9 hours. Still have the bag of ash I got off the car somewhere. -
Didn’t realize all the Spooks on this board. Especially surprised grumble is one. Spokane had about an inch of ash. Darkness came at 4 o’clock. And didn’t see the Sun for 3 days. The ‘Rents were coming back from a Softball tournament from Yakima and their truck choked out somewhere on I-90. They were road rescued by the WSP and had to share a Moses Lake hotel room with about 8 people and ration food for 3 days. They had about 5 inches of ash in Moses Lake.PurpleThrobber said:

One of the first known photo shops. DuPont wanted to pretend the 250 foot tower on top had a purpose because Chrysler said it shouldn't count. This photo ran in all the papers. An airship never docked there
