May. 18th, 2010 06:14 pmI remember the eruption. Everybody else in the house was up at an SCA event east of Seattle, and more or less due north of St. Helens.
When the news of the eruption reached the event, everyone was offering sympathy to the folks from the Portland area. Because that's where everybody expected the ash to fall.
Lots of folks offered places to stay to the Portland folks. Especially folks from Yakima and the Tri-Cities. Both of which got hit with major ashfalls.
Wish I had clips of the news showing the snowplows fighting to keep roads clear in Yakima.
Oh yeah, took forever for the housemates to get home. A couple bridges on I5 got taken out by the mudflows. So they had to use the two lane highways along the coast. Mega traffic jam.
