Mount St Helens

angry inhale deep venting smoldering tantrum animals fleeing 2/4/2020 Mount St. Helens in Washington erupts, causing a massive avalanche and killing 57 people on this day in 1980. Ash from the volcanic eruption fell as far away as Minnesota. I lived only 235 miles south from Mount St. Helens when it erupted.

Nicely done, except Mother Nature exhaled, regurgitating all that upset her! Aloha! Rico

inhaled first, to take a breath then released its aggravation :)

Mother nature at her angriest, we sometimes forget the earth is a living thing. Tom

I remember that event--though I lived far away in Maryland (and still do). Your photo reflects the essence in your words, Eve.
