The morning St Helen's blew the wife and I were asleep at our cabin on Discovery Bay outside the main house and my mother ran out of the asked what that explosion was and I raised my heafd off the pillow and said, "oh it's nothing Mount Saint Helens just blew up" and laid my head back down and went back to sleep got up an hour later turned on the TV and it was all over the news.

We live about 150 miles northwest of the Mountian and when blew it sounded like someone had set off about 10 sticks of Dynamite 0off outside our bedroom window.
