I am the first victim of Mt. St. Helens!

For starters, I live about 40 miles north of Seattle, which puts me I'mtoolazytolookitup miles away from Mt. St. Helens. Yesterday I had woken up about noon, and after some time spent messing around on ATOT I went to go make myself some breakfast. I went over to the counter, which is beneath two flourescent lights that are covered by 4 plastic sheets held into place by resting on wooden supports. I had just about poured my cereal when I heard the plastic rattle and was about to lift my hand to cover my head when I felt something hit my head and the side of the sheet hit my hand. I looked down and the plastic sheet was lying broken on the ground. At first I thought it was just a random freak occurrence, but then I turned on the news and found out that it was about the same time that St. Helens blew her steamular load complete w/ earthquake. I wasn't really hurt, but my hand stung like hell for about half an hour or so.

Cliff Notes: Went to make breakfast over a hundred miles from St. Helens, steam eruption occurs, plastic falls on head and hands. Hand stung like hell.

Boy that real bad. I only lost my home and everything in it during the 1980 eruption.

I'd consider that a life lesson.

Don't live near volcanoes.

Glad this was specified in the topic summary, as no doubt everyone incorrectly assumed this thread was constructed post mortem.

Where did you live?


 
"...4 plastic sheets held into place by resting on wooden supports."

Is that a cobbled together, temporary setup, or what?
