25 years ago: Mount St. Helens stirs to life

Posted on Sunday 27 March 2005 by Dave Schumaker

I know I haven’t posted much news lately. Been busy with school and then on Spring Break. Anyway, it was 25 years ago that Mount St. Helens begin stirring to life.

Twenty-two quakes of magnitude 4.0 or greater happened in an eight-hour period, shaking avalanches of ice and snow off the sides of the mountain.

The volcano would eventually erupt on May 18, 1980.
