Mount St Helens, part of the Cascade range, erupted on May 18, 1980 at 8:32 am. Experts note the ash weighed 540 million tons and spread across 11 states, darkening the sun for hours and destroying crops.
A massive slide of mud rock and ice from a volcanic blast buried a valley with 150 feet of debris. About 60 people died and 1.5 million birds and other animals perished along with millions of fish. Roads and crops were ruined.
