"The air had no oxygen, like being trapped underwater...I was being cremated, the pain unbearable." - Jim Scymanky
"I was on my knees, my back to the hot wind. It blew me along, lifting my rear so I was up on my hands...It was hot but I didn't feel burned - until I felt my ears curl." - Mike Hubbard
A napping volcano blinked awake in March 1980. Two months later, the mountain roared. Author Richard Waitt was one of the first to arrive following the mountain's early rumblings. A geologist with intimate knowledge of Mount St. Helens, Waitt delivers a detailed and accurate chronicle of events. His eruption story unfolds through unforgettable, riveting narratives - the heart of a masterful chronology that also delivers engrossing science, history, and journalism.
The original book was published by Washington State University Press.

That being said, it's a gripping story and I'm not sorry that I'm spending so much time listening to it (at 1.2x speed, which helps!).
Enjoyable, but hard to follow on audio

This is exactly what I was looking for when I started looking for a audiobook to listen to about the eruption of Mount St Helens. I actually lived through these events as a child living in the Yakima Valley at the time. I had a general knowledge of the events, but this book really lays it out in detail, from the people on the scene at the time. The narrator does a great job of conveying the mood, and has a great storytelling voice. I plan on listening to this many times over the years.
Amazing compilation of First Person Accounts
