Thirty-five years ago today, a volcano in southwestern Washington named Mount St. Helens erupted, spewing ash over much of the state, setting off a landslide, creating local floods, and killing 57 people. The eruption remains the deadliest and costliest in U.S. history. Here are some reports recalling that fateful day in 1980:
From USA Today, some facts about the eruption.
From io9, an image of Mount St. Helens today.
From CBS News, the return of nature to the area, including the death and rebirth of Spirit Lake.
From the Epoch Times, "exactly what happened" during the eruption.
And from KOMO News, a man who at the time was a high school student recalls the ash cloud arriving in Spokane.
