I was 183 miles from Mount Saint Helens when it blew up in 1980. We still had half an inch of ash. The volcano was on a Sunday, school was cancelled on Monday. We had to wear dust masks to go outside.

When we got closer to the mountain, everything smelled like rotten eggs (sulfur). Even weeks later.
