@ScentimentallyYours I was living in NJ at the time of the Mt St Helens eruption and in grade school. I remember the ash haze reaching us and our teachers rolled the TVs into class so we could watch the news and then we went outside to see it 😳 it kinda freaked me out as a kid because I remember how the temperature changed and we talked about it in science class also and compared it to the global catastrophies that caused the ice ages. Talk about a life lesson!

At the time I worked at the local TV station, and Missoula also experienced weather changes. I called up the Today Show weatherman at the time, Willard Scott, and asked if it was possible that weather changes were due to the eruption of Mount Saint Helens. He said he checked with the meteorologists and they did not think it could’ve had that large an impact on our weather. But who knows? I’m not sure they had enough scientific background at the time to make the determination. Or perhaps I was more enchanted by the drama of it all?
 
I have my own story of that day. It was absolutely incredible! And your soap encaptures it beautifully.
Would someone be willing to open a thread in the general chat as a place to put down these Mt. St. Helen's stories? I am fascinated by eye- witness accounts, and would love to hear ALL the stories! It could be a history and science lesson for the whole family! I was less than a year old when it happened, so I don't remember anything about it.

You read my mind @ackosel!!!
