I postdate the eruption (unfortunately?), but it looms large in any volcano study.
Born in LA but moved to PNW by the time I was 4. Grew up here. Survived the ash fall. For months we would occasionally get covered. They'd forecast it based on the winds right after each eruption. My first experience having to mask up to go outside.
