A historic eruption of Mount St Helens on May 18 1980 sent ash across 11 states and reached the eastern United States days later. Experts estimate 540 million tons of ash with a crater roughly 1 mile by 2 miles and depths near 2100 feet.
A massive mud and rock avalanche swept a valley after a blast, burying the area with 150 feet of debris. About 60 people died, 1.5 million birds and other animals perished, and fish were killed. Roads and crops were ruined. Photos credit U S Geological Survey and Interior.
