May 18, 1980 - Mt. St. Helen's erupted.  Accuweather has a nice article on their site and on Twitter. 

The Multiple photos are the last images Geologist David Johnston took before his death. He was 5 miles from the volcano.

He unloaded his film, placed them in a container, then inside his backpack and fell on the backpack to protect the images.

He died moments later.  Incredible devotion to his work

      I doubt you listened a word he said. I listened and re-listened to his podcasts back in ‘21 & ‘22 that dealt with this. He openly corrected where he was wrong. Funny how those that bleat about “the science” slander actual scientists when there’s scientists that disagree, when scientists point out the authoritarian moves to force people to fall in line. He is not “Trumpy.” He’s a moderate leftist. But for you and others like you, those that don’t fall completely in line with leftist dogma is “Trumpy.” He’s to the left of me on many things. (You’re a perfect example of why much of the moderate left is now in the middle, courted by Republicans). But I respect his and Heather’s insight. He hasn’t changed politically over the years. Do you know how him and Heather were propelled into the spotlight? It’s a wild story how the social justice Neanderthals were physically after him at Evergreen State. Lastly, I noticed you directly ad hominem attacked him without addressing his observations.

      Weinstein is a well-known nutcase active in the antivax and conspiracy theory communities. No big surprise he’s jumped onto the Trumpy anti-immigrant train.

      July 2024 Observations and Discussion

      We are getting closer to our final month of Met Summer and the good ol' "Ring of Fire" pattern appears it will fire up quite nicely for our Midwest/Lakes members. Boy, hasn't this been the theme for a long stretch this entire summer so far. I would not be shocked to see Chitown in the bullseye again during the 1st week of August....just before a major trough hits the GL's for the annual Chicago Air & Water Show! Should be a nice weekend for that huge and exciting event.
