Man, imagine if something like that was captured with modern microphones and cameras, it would be more terrifying than it already is, but if you were actually there it would be insane to look at.

My father, being a true dad, took me camping at the base of Mt. St. Helens about a month before it blew. He was not particularly worried. 🤣 I was quite young, but distinctly remember seeing a large herd of elk in the forest.

I was on a school bus with classmates on a field trip. Ash started falling, the day turned pitch black and we were stranded for 3 days. No chaperones, just a busload of kids and the band director. I'm thankful for the Red Cross to this day.

25+ second ad for a video less than 2 minutes long. Makes perfect sense. Why would anyone want a reprieve.
