Volcano in Washington State
POPULARITY
We finally made the journey into the heart of one of the Pacific Northwest's most iconic and hauntingly beautiful landscapes—Mount St. Helens. More than just the site of a historic eruption, Mount St. Helens is a powerful symbol of nature's destruction and resilience. Over 40 years ago on May 18, 1980, the mountain exploded with a force that shocked the world reshaping the region in seconds. From lava-scarred ridgelines to lush alpine meadows, we explore how the land has healed and how nature has reclaimed this once-barren space. You'll hear what it feels like to stand beneath the tall old growth forests, hike its trails, and witness the quiet strength of a mountain rebuilding itself.Tune in to discover why Mount St. Helens is more than a volcano—it's a must-see destination. We share what we witnessed, what we did and what we would do differently when we return. Join us as we share our story about the raw beauty of the Pacific Northwest that surrounds Mt St Helens.Send us a textPlease follow the show so you never miss an episode.

Forty-five years ago, on May 18, 1980, Mt St Helens erupted and changed creationism forever. The explosion showed us how rapidly geological features could form during a catastrophe and gave us a laboratory to understand the formation of coal. The deadly eruption also reminds us to heed the warnings of coming destruction and judgment. With so many warning signs, no one needed to die at Mt St Helens unless they chose to stay. Join Paul and Todd as they chat with Bill Hoesch, director of the Mt St Helens Creation Center, about this milestone in creation research!Visit the Mount Saint Helens Creation Center https://www.mshcreationcenter.org/Link to Google Maps view of Spirit Lake. https://maps.app.goo.gl/tjkyy9CE3oVJAT6S9Zoom in to see the log mat.

On this bonus ERUPTION episode of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel speaks with John Erickson and Mike Beard who covered the first eruption of Mount St. Helens for radio station KGW in Portland, Oregon on March 27, 1980. Erickson was news director and Beard was a reporter who just happened to be airborne over the mountain on the day of that first eruption 45 years ago. The two worked together to get Beard on the air and spread the news to Portland and the world that Mount St. Helens had awakened from a century or more of slumber. The more destructive - and deadly - eruption would come less than two months later. CASCADE OF HISTORY is broadcast LIVE most Sunday nights at 8pm Pacific Time via SPACE 101.1 FM in Seattle and gallantly streaming everywhere via space101fm.org. The radio station is located at historic Magnuson Park - formerly Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.

Is Bigfoot making peculiar stacks of bones in the forests of Mt. St. Helens? Archaeologist Andy White joins us to discuss the hypothesis that was the topic of a research paper by a Bigfoot proponent Mitchell Townsend. Andy's website (and response to Townsend's claims) Andy also has a YOUTUBE CHANNEL. Taphonomy Bigfoot proponent Townsend has been on Coast-to-Coast-AM more than once, where he also promoted his ideas about hidden images in stones. Mitchell's ideas are VERY reminiscent of the Richard Shaver work which we described as both apophenia and art. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We've spent the last three-and-a-half years criticizing a range of wellness ideas, charismatic charlatans, abusive self-styled gurus, and conspiracy theories. We've also discussed our own beliefs and highlighted many people and ideas that we believe are getting it right. Derek has never really explored what motivates him on a physical and mental level despite having spent many years doing so inside of gyms and studios. This is no motivational speech, but rather an exploration of a motivational mindset, weighed against how some popular influencers position the concept. Derek uses his recent experience summiting Mt St Helens to frame the conversation. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today is May 18th and on this day in 1980 Mt. St. Helens erupted with a force so powerful that it leveled tens of thousands of acres of forest and destroyed hundreds of homes, roadways and railways. 57 people lost their lives in the blast. On duty that day was a young helicopter pilot named Mike Cairns. He and many of his Washington National Guard pilots immediately flew towards the devastation and began the incredibly difficult task of finding survivors. Please listen in as he recounts those terrible days of flying in the most perilous of conditions.
Everybody knows about the stunning eruption of Mt. St. Helens on May 18, 1980 but do you know about the geologic feature the eruption created that you can now explore on the mountainside while hiking? KVI's John Carlson explains what you're missing about this new addition to the exploded mountain.
On May 18, 1980, at 8:32 AM local time, a major explosive eruption took place at a volcano in southwest Washington State. After months of earthquakes and smaller eruptions, Mt. St. Helens exploded. Over 1,000 feet of mountain was gone in just a few moments. And 57 people quickly died as hot volcanic ash, mudslides, and a fast-moving, incredibly hot cloud of death and destruction tore through miles of forest. Why didn't many of these people heed warnings that a deadly explosion was imminent? Today we look into what geothermal activity led up to this eruption, how various government agencies, private companies, and everyday people reacted to months of conflicting reports, how volcanos are formed, why the explode, and much more!

After the eruption of Mt. St. Helens on May 18th 1980 the U.S. Government sent as many people from as many different branches of the Govt and services as they could to help in recovery of civilians and to clean up. Although most humans were aware of the coming disaster, the wildlife was not. The government went in and retrieved many animal bodies that were killed in the aftermath of the eruption. Some service members as well as some civilians claim the Government were also there to retrieve Bigfoot bodies. Does the U.S. Govt know Bigfoot is real and are covering this fact up? But Why?

The eruption of Mt St Helens dominated the news 42 years ago...today we looked at some of the other popular events of the day for some trivia questions!
More pop culture trivia taken from the day Mt St Helens dominated the news!
It was on March 20, 1980, when people began noticing volcanic activity at St. Helens Mountain in Washington. By March 27, a series of small tremors would culminate in the most disastrous volcanic eruption in U.S. history.
It was 40 years ago today that Mount St. Helens in Washington State erupted. Ash and steam poured out and avalanches of snow and ice thundered down the mountain's sides for two months, and then on May 18, 1980 the volcano blew its top. Fifty-seven people were killed, many others injured, and many buildings were destroyed. The huge blast of rock, ash and hot gases devastated an area about 230 square miles. Similar to our experiences of quarantining at home during the coronavirus pandemic, residents in many states also were confined to their homes. If they ventured outside, they would wear masks to protect themselves from the ash. This went on for several weeks. In this episode, FEMA speaks with current and former FEMA staff who experienced the eruption and subsequent ash that blew east into Spokane and Montana where our speakers lived. Chris Jonientz-Trisler, Volcanologist and retired-FEMA Division Director; Jay LaPlante, Region 10 Tribal Liaison; and Elaine Ike, former FEMA Community Relations Specialist, share their unique experiences.
On Quarantine Cast 7 Justin, Brogan, and Scott talk to Brian Terbush from the Washington Emergency Management Division about the Mount St. Helens eruption that happened 40 years ago. His work supports the emergency management division's mission to minimize the impact of emergencies and disasters on the people, property, environment, and economy of Washington State. Brian also joined the guys last November on Episode 95. 00:00 – They discuss the Facebook group where people pretend to be ants, Scott gives a shout out to their two new Patreon supporters, and Brian introduces himself and what he does at the Washington State Emergency Management Division. He explains that he's a volcanologist by training, their recent participation in the Ask Me Anything on Reddit, and what originally got him into volcanology. He talks about the pre-cursor that let up to the eruption and the worries of its potential re-erupting in the future. 13:28 – Brian shares how American's were shocked when it happened, Justin talks about the mountain's gradual eruptions, and Brian talks about what scientists learned from it. He talks on the siren systems that were setup for both Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier, the questions from the Reddit AMA that he appreciated the most, and their collaborating with other scientists around the world on volcanos. He tells listeners what they would need in preparedness for volcano situations, how he sleeps at night in knowing it could happen, and Justin talks about the importance of prepping a go bag not only for the humans in your life but for your pets as well. 23:22 – Brian shares what his favorite things are to include in his to go bag, some of the things his team is covering on social media, and their plan for doing a Facebook live on the 18th to talk about volcanic hazards and preparedness. Brogan talks about local business going out of business due to Covid-19, Scott shares what freaks him out about the volcanos, and Brian talks about the volcano's people shouldn't live close to. He shares the helpful tools the Emergency Management Division has online, how Hawaii's volcano's differ from the ones near us, and the importance of people knowing the impact the volcanos around near them would have if it went off. 34:56 – Brian talks about place where people can go to tour the inside volcanos, the volcanic activity in Yellow Stone, and the best source for people to reach out to when a general emergency comes up. Scott and Brogan talk on some conspiracies, Justin recommends listeners to submit coaster questions in Discord, and Brian asks the guys if they have any family stories from when the volcano went off. Thanks Brian for sitting down with the group again to talk all things volcanos. Stay safe and Happy Volcano Month! Special Guest: Brian Terbush.

In this episode we talk with Nicole Masters of integrity soils. She is an expert in ecology and soil science with over 20 years experience. She advises farmers on how to improve the health of their land an ecosystems.Nicole shares about how she went from wanting to be a great white shark researcher to an agroecologist. We talk soil health, worm compost, producer and consumer mindsets and integrity. This conversation gets in to the detail about soil, but we also cover the overarching idea that mindset changes everything. Nicole mentions one of the best ways to live a probiotic life is to support your local farmers.Just a note that half way through the interview a cable decided to quit, so I had to re-record my side of the conversation from that point on… Luckily it was my side, not Nicole's.Check out what Nicole is doing by visiting her website:www.integritysoils.co.nzFacebookYoutubeLinkedinThanks again to Confiture for a sample of their funky jazz.Check them out at: http://confitureband.com/Show NotesScientific Background- Bachelor of Science (Ecology) at Otago University- originally went to be a great white shark researcher- study focus shifted from zoology to botany to soil- light went on for her when she began to study soil- this passion has now continued strongly for 20 yearsFormative Experiences- spent her early life in aircraft looking down at the earth- the eruption of Mt St Helens put things in perspective for her, how powerful the earth is and how small we are- saw a need to disrupt the current trend towards people living among their own man-made pollution- willingness to be part of a conversation about what's possible for transformation- realised the mainstream farmers are the ones that she needed to be talking with, enter their worlds and make transformation profitableKey Things to Know About Soil- gastrointestinal system is very similar to the soil system- the rhizosphere, or root interface with soil, is the most biodiverse system on the planet- how do we support a very diverse ecosystem- modern farming techniques are disturbing microbiology- this depletes biodiversity and lowers nutritional value of food grown- quorum sensing/quenching discussion- sending out a little signal that tells biology to turn on a particular response- plant can send a chemical signal asking for what nutrient it requires, and if the microbiome is intact it will send the plant that nutrientWorms Farming- the worm castings are the best part- the perfect worm farm makes no leachate, if it's making leachate you need more carbon in there- most vermicast is bacterial dominated, which is the environment weeds prefer- use white (soft) wood chips to make it more fungal friendly- get liquid form by running water through a finished (fully processed) vermicast- leachate is not good to use on plants, pour it back into the worm farmCurrent Focus- workshops in Montana on how to assess soil health/pasture quality- addressing sodium deficiency around the world to improve nutrition, animal health, erosion- working with crop producers to reduce nitrogen and herbicide use, while keeping equivalent yield and higher profit margin- how do we identify what a limiting factor might be on a property?- working with clients' goals, what outcomes do they want to see from these changes?- evidence is showing that applying herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides are altering plants' physiology, making them more susceptible to pests and diseases- discussion about nitrogen & compactionIntegrity Soils: What Does This Name Mean to You?- integrity: describes something that is whole and complete- resilient, complete soils that will stand up to pressure- being trustworthy and above board in all business practices- dealing with childhood & personal wounds so you are whole as a person- a call to work at these aspects as you interact with others, and in your workLessons Learned from Mother Nature- Nicole has developed a feel for soil over time, while being ready with facts to persuade the skeptical- the interconnectedness of everything- water movement through a landscape- aligning more closely to how things would have been naturally- shifting from feeling out of control to feeling happy, excited about working with nature and what might be possible- see weeds as an indicator of something happening, an opportunity to address an imbalance, rather than something to be killed outright- cover crops as a step into regenerative agricultureChange for the Future- voting with your dollars: buy clean foods, ring to let companies know you won't buy non-clean food- Nicole believes this is the way to make clean food production go mainstream- producers respond to consumer demand- being willing to pay a premium for nutrient-dense food, which you need less of to feed yourself- conversation on these topics happening on every levelClosing Thoughts- consider the “underground workforce”: how am I support the microbiology within my soil?- refractometer is a good investment, quick key to checking nutrient density- carbon is the currency of the planet, and our soil has been running low on it- food actually does taste less sweet than it used to due to lack of soil nutrients- make those greens sweet and tasty again, that's how to get the younger generation excited about this- “Dirt in your Skirt” podcast- currently writing about doing triage on soil, Nicole's step-by-step process- www.integritysoils.co.nz - get the newsletter!
