Re: hey old guys! what was Mnt. Saint Helons like?
different sort of disaster -
only a few lives threatened directly around the volcano - not thousands like in New Orleans - old stubborn farts who wouldn't leave, stuff like that -
the widespread fallout from the ash was a bit irritating - (remember going thru counties yrs later where ash was still along the roads) but nothing to match what is going on now -
Only thing I would compare to this in my brief history is 9/11 - lots of lives getting lost - and this time, there was a shitload that could have been done to prevent it, but we sent the money and resources to war, so now we're [censored] it up ourselves -
