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.
