In the world of geology, the norm is that nothing happens quickly. Moving "fast" might mean inches over hundreds, even thousands of years—slow and steady. This, though? This is **exceptionally** fast. "Amazing rates," remarks colleague Don Swanson.
#MountStHelens | April 27, 1980 🧵 At Timberline, Pete Lipman can't find the Goat Rocks target. USGS recently installed laser reflectors to track the bulge's growth. After nudging the instrument's sight to the right, Lipman finds it has moved three yards north since Friday!
The human stories around Mount St. Helens in the Spring of 1980 are diverse and compelling. Jim McWhirter, a 30-yr-old veteran from Florida, became paralyzed after attempting to take his own life in 1975. In April 1980, he drove to Cougar, now watching the volcano from his van.
#MountStHelens | April 26, 1980 Quakes hit their lowest mark since March 24. Fumaroles jet steam from the now-quiet crater. The bulge continues to grow unimpeded.
#MountStHelens | April 25, 1980 Two #Portland men, Lanny Garner and Jim Spiri, avoid roadblocks and gather ash at the Timberline loop to sell for $2 per bag. Their business name? "Exploding Enterprises." "We're just cleaning up the street," says Spiri.
#MountStHelens | April 25, 1980 No volcanic eruptions. The only visible activity is the melting of snow on the peak.
#MountStHelens | April 25, 1980 Based on observations of the bulging north face, @GPNF officials announce the continued closure of St. Helens and Spirit Lake to visitors through summer. Two restricted access zones around the mountain are to be implemented in the next few days.
#MountStHelens | April 24, 1980 The daily USGS time-lapse video shows clouds covering the peak most of the day until late afternoon when they break to reveal snowfall on the flanks.
#MountStHelens | April 23, 1980 In the Kelso-Longview area, life continues while the volcano shudders and spits ash and steam to the east. A 'volcano survivors' skating party is happening tonight at #Kelso's Skate World. Special Lava Cones on sale! #LongviewWA #CowlitzCounty
#MountStHelens #OTD in 1980 | April 24 📉 36 earthquakes above magnitude 3 shook the volcano today. The total number of quakes has been steadily going down, but... 📈...quakes now shaking the peak are increasingly above a magnitude 4. Less volume, but more power.
#MountStHelens | April 24, 1980 Students from @KelsoSchools' Butler Acres Elementary School have created St. Helens-inspired lyrics to popular songs — including The Muppet Show theme and Debby Boone's "You Light Up My Life." How long ago was 1980? Debby Boone long ago.

Woah, that mountain wasn’t messing around 44 years ago!!
#MountStHelens | April 27, 1980 🧵 At Timberline, Pete Lipman can't find the Goat Rocks target. USGS recently installed laser reflectors to track the bulge's growth. After nudging the instrument's sight to the right, Lipman finds it has moved three yards north since Friday!
@StHelensIn1980 @GPNF That picture looking out at Spirit Lake is fascinating.
@StHelensIn1980 @USGS Geez that is massive. Insane amount of material.
@StHelensIn1980 @USGS An avalanche would have been a MUCH better scenario than what happened.
@LoowitVideos Tho fr I would honestly like to visit Lassen at some point lmfao
@LoowitVideos It's a great uncrowded alternative to whatever your actual destination might be, thoroughly enjoyable. My first visit was last summer
One of the truly great parks in the whole nation.
Also, what are you waiting for if you haven't been to Lassen Volcanic National Park? Stop what you're doing! Make plans to go in the near future! No excuses!
@LoowitVideos C'est fou comment il changeait... Il avait presque sa forme finale
@LoowitVideos Pretty awesome clicks! Hard to remember what that area looked liked before
@LoowitVideos They are excellent. #volcanos
Less than a month until the anniversary of the eruption!
Sharing some more photos from the USGS archives taken in late March to mid-April 1980. Two are from Coldwater I, and one is from Timberline. Although the geologists may not have been professional photographers, they could take great shots from time to time.
@LoowitVideos @FlynnUnbound @USGS I watched a Nat Geo documentary on this a few weeks ago on Disney+. Hella interesting. Also has me looking up houses in Europe..
@LoowitVideos I am loving this series on the eruption history. Can you recommend a GOOD book on this as there seems to be about 10 or more.to pick from.
@LoowitVideos Witnessing the eruption on May 18, 1980, was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. I have a glass paperweight that was made from the 'dust cloud'.
@LoowitVideos @USGS @volcaholic1 this account is good
@LoowitVideos I'm betting they will be closed for fishing well past that
Bloody hell.

@LoowitVideos @USGS @MSHInstitute That’s awesome. Thank you. Yes, I know exactly where the viewpoint is off of 504, but it would be cool to hike down there and see the actual spot. Thank you for sharing all this wonderful history about the mountain in the 1980 eruption.
