Hi there, I’m Chris. Just sharing my fascination with the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens (Lawilátɬa/Loowit) with you for #MSH45.

Anyone want to help this person out?
For my WIP, I’m doing some rock hounding. I am slowly educating myself about rocks. This was something I found at the base of a waterfall near Mt. St. Helens I believe it’s chalcedony, agate, and quartz.
Anyone know their #rocks?
It almost looks like a geode, but rare there.

Videos? Possibly.
Photos? Probably.
My one-person interpretative dance performance depicting the growth of the lava dome? Not without a ticket.

Think I'm putting a pin in the "St. Helens" movie story for the moment since it's Thanksgiving week.
Might be time to throw out some random things over the next few days since...

Here's the complete footage from KATU's visit to the "St. Helens" set—including interviews with crew members and their roles.
It's an interesting look into not-quite-major motion picture filming at the dawn of the 80s.

Derived Ash Height product from @eumetsat.int #meteosat10 suggested that parts of the volcanic ash cloud from the eruption of #HayliGubbi in Ethiopia may have reached heights in the 18-20 km range (black).

An explosive #eruption of Hayli Gubbi #volcano, located SE of Erta'Ale in the Afar Rift (Ethiopia), began at ~08:30 UTC on Nov 23. Eruption onset was fortuitously captured by a @planet.com overpass at 08:31 UTC. Hayli Gubbi has no record of Holocene eruptions. Toulouse VAAC reporting ash to ~15 km.

For me, probably the first glance 👀 reaction I've had since Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai.

Vetting the source as best as I can, this has to be an actual ground photo of the eruption.
May help explain the two plumes and how wind patterns at different altitudes may account for the diverging routes.

Erta Ale is Highly smoking now
A massive explosion occurred this morning at erta Ale volcano in the Danakil Depression sending a huge plume of smoke into the sky

Meanwhile, in other volcanic activity, check out this eruption plume from Hayli Gubbi in Ethiopia.
It's its first, at least according to the Global Volcanism Program's records, in recorded history. So, how about that? You live in a moment when a novel volcanic event occurred.

#MSH45 | The Film: Sieber's Folly Pays Off
Along with Harry Truman's family, among others, "St. Helens" executive producer Michael Murphy also struck a deal with one Otto Sieber.
This is the Seattle filmmaker whose May trip into the devastated area nearly cost him and his team their lives.

First thing that came to mind: "Visions" by Grant Green. Anyway.
Sieber's footage, taken during his April climb, among others, would be incorporated into the final movie. He'd also serve as a technical advisor for the film.
It's something to do before his December trial for the blast zone hike.

This is so cool! I had an amazing undergraduate student right after I started my job, and his research project included looking at the 1842 eruption. We concluded it was not just a phreatic event, but a bit more exciting. I wish this letter had been available then.

Portland’s KATU gives a peek behind the scenes of the filming of “St. Helens,” as Harry Truman, brought back to life by Art Carney, holds a press conference at a stand-in Mount St. Helens Lodge — Elk Lake Lodge near Mount Bachelor.

Johnston, portrayed by young actor David Huffman, was written as a hotheaded geologist, softened by his barmaid girlfriend, played by Cassie Yates. Elsewhere, one dog replaced Truman’s 16 cats.
As filming continued around central Oregon that fall, concerns about the script remained muted...for now.

From the start, producers made it clear "St. Helens" was a mix of truth and dramatic license.
Harry Truman and David Johnston, as portrayed in the movie, were inspired by real people but were “characters that we have drawn on to create an actual picture of forces at work,” according to Murphy.

The casting was a coup for EP Michael T. Murphy, whose previous film, 1977’s “Roseland,” received critical nods but little else.
With production partners in LA and funding from Oregon investors, Murphy says “St. Helens” will be “one of the most powerful and eagerly anticipated productions of 1981.”
