The volcanic eruption instantaneously blasts 1300 feet off the mountains peak, lowering the elevation from 9,700 to around 8,300 feet. In a matter of seconds, the beautiful bucolic scenery is a gray cratered wasteland. The landslides up follow the eruption that Dave outran pushed nearly 50 billion gallons of debris filled sludge down the mountainside. Nearly 150,000 acres of public and private lands are destroyed as well as 200 homes, 100 miles of streams, 63 miles of road and 13 bridges.
