Mount St. Helens - 30 years on...

30 years ago, I was sitting my "O levels"...

There was a major news story which I remember, about an eruption in the Cascades range in the NW USA...

It was a volcano called Mt. St. Helens, which became world famous...

That was May 18, 1980 - almost 30 years ago...
