Mt. St. Helens & Yale Lake, Washington, before and after the volcanic eruptions. These scenes offer a dramatic comparison - on the left, the mountain's majestic beauty is captured, and on the right, the awesome power of the eruption is visible. The eruption occurred on May 18, 1980. The force blew 1300 feet off the top of the mountain, spreading ash eastward across the continent. - Photo(right) by Steve Terrill - the sender writes, "Even though we live about 250 miles away, we got about 1 inch of ash all over everything!" - postmarked in Feb 2007 with 24 cent Common Buckeye stamp
