Mt. Saint Helens: Hurricane Katrina
Has anyone in your family every been in a natural disaster? If you have how bad was it, do you think it was as bad as hurricane Katrina. Or was it a small disaster. In the past 4,000 years, Mt. saint Helens has erupted more than the other Cascade Range volcanoes. 3,600 years ago the Native Americans had to abandoned their hunting because of the enormous eruption that was four times as enormous as may 1980’s eruption. When it erupted in 1980 the ash rose over 80,000 feet.
In 1980 a volcano erupted, and my Nana knew that it erupted. But she didn’t think anything would happen. Then suddenly a lot of ash started to fall like snow. After it fell on everything you could not go outside because it dangerous to breath the ash in your lungs. If you
breath in to much of the ash you could die. That made it hard for everybody to get food from the store because you couldn't go outside. In this case they had to save their food. Ontell the ash was gone. When the ash was gone it was still hard to breath because the ash is still in the air. But my Nana had to get food so she went outside but the farther she got the harder it got to breath. So she had to go back inside and wait.
