Rites of Spring #16 - We remember Mount St. Helens from 1980 · 18.05.10 by colin newell
Many of us over 35’s might remember that morning in May of 1980 when Mount St. Helens at 8:32AM on the 18th. For me, there was 2 distinct shock waves that rolled through Victoria. It sounded like heavy artillery to me – everyone had a different impression.
We had the cassette tape running moments after the explosion of Mount St. Helens way back in May 18, 1980 – check out this out-take of ham radio operators and a newscast from CFAX 1070. You are there!

Great vintage clip. My mom yelled at me for thumping around upstairs, not knowing it was actually the shock wave.
