Was in Spokane when Mt St Helens hit . . .
was dark—real dark in the middle of the day.
AVOID GOING OUT WITHOUT A PRETTY DECENT MASK.
AVOID DRIVING VEHICLES YOU CARE ABOUT . . . SOME FOLKS PUT WOMEN’S HOSE OVER THE CARBORATOR/AIR BREATHER INTAKE IIRC.
We happened to be parked about a block from our apt when it started seriously falling. I don’t recall if we left the car where it was—no, I think we drove it home.
Mother-in-law was staying with us and had to stay longer as no flights for a day or 3.
Some buildings had to have the ash shoveled off to avoid collapsing the roofs. It was heavy stuff but about the consistency of talcum powder.
Great for scouring pans etc.
KEEP IT OUT OF YOUR BREATHING PASSAGES AND LUNGS. VERY HAZARDOUS STUFF.
It’s supposeed to have snow and high winds tonight too. It’s going to be a muddy fracking mess wnen it melts!
It makes lovely glass. We even had a lite dusting of ash here in Eureka Ca
False! Not going to help at all, your air filter is much better and finer of a mesh. You could spray some wd40 on the air cleaner but frankly, just dont drive. You do not want that abrasive crap grinding the guts out of your engine. Time to read a good book and kick back. As you cannot use the snowed in excuse in AK, now you can say you were ashed in!
