Up here in Vancouver Canada we had ash on our cars. Heard the boom too when it blew. Amazing

Was 15 years old when it happened. Blew up again in July. Watched it on my parent's roof. Got a quarter inch of ash all over.

@LindaMerchant-pm8vn we didn't have anywhere else to go. Besides it was 106 miles away. What's worse is the future 9.0 Cascadia earthquake that effect 800 miles of coast and will make huge tsunami towards Asia. Watch the Cascadia earthquake videos. Nasty scenes.

If you just don't want to leave that's entirely your business (tips hat to Harry R. Truman), but when you cite "facts" like "We've had floods here before." and "We're 69 feet above sea level, so I wouldn't worry about it." when you're dealing with something of this magnitude then you just sound silly.

Why wasnt evacuations given
@Guitcad1 5 күн бұрын
They were, but many people ignored the warnings and snuck past police barricades. Plus much of the destruction was outside the "red zone" where evacuations had been ordered.
