Ruined my 8 yr old birthday party in Tri-Cities. Was supposed to take all the boys from class (15-20) fishin on the Yakima and a spend -the night. Nobody showed. It really sucked. It got really dark around 9-10am and the clouds looked like waves on the ocean. We collected a 5lb bucket of ash. You can still see the ash layer on some eastern washington roadsides where the ditches are.
