I was living in Oklahoma and there was fine light gray ash piling up in drifts everywhere, even that far from the source.

I and Patti sat on on our Roof Top in Rainier Oregon. Our elevation was about 1500ft at roof top. Straight view. The air turned into a vibrato as did our speech to each other. Sat and watched the amazing lightning that was backwards. Flashed from the Earth toward the Sky. 45 years later, l can still close my eyes and feel the power of 10 Nuclear weapons all at once. Alan.

What is hard to imagine is the scale of what you are, this is like half a mountain just sliding and exploding. I once saw a calculation of how many Hirshoma bombs it would be equivalent of, it was something like 25~30.

I hope that I'm gone before Yellowstone and those 8 volcanoes go, because that's the end of America, if anybody doesn't know that's like every atomic weapon in the world, going off at once. There's nobody alive on this side of the planet , and the whole planet will die within two or three years because there won't be no sun for at least maybe five years

I’ll never forget this. This eruption caused a cloud of ash over the entire country for about two weeks.

the blast created smog to block enough fun to make the whole earth temp drop one degree. one isn't a lot... but for one volcano to do that... it's huge
