I remember the day that happened! Our house shook...we live just across the border in BC. Can it really be THIRTY years ago?? We just flew over her last week on our way home from CA...what a magnificent sight! What power was displayed by our Great God on that day! Thanks for posting Raeann...I really like the pictures you included. AND what an appropriate text of Scripture. :)

Blessings,
Camille

I too remember...it sounded like someone kicked something against our house. We received a light dusting of ash.
We have been there a few times over the years...an amazing sight!

Blessings!

My parents lived in Richland at the time. Their car was covered with ash and they sent us a little souvenir (where did I put that....it must have blended in with all the other dust a round here!).

I remember praying for Harry Truman. He was interviewed several times prior to the eruption. He was adamant in his refusal to leave his home. I don't believe he was ever found....Sad.
