There were climbers on the summit of Mt. Adams at the time. A couple photos they took were featured in a National Geographic magazine article in early 1981.
Here's a quick link showing the photos: Click here |
Some of those that were in that party are family friends. Their story of hightailing it down the mountain as the ash cloud came for them, with electricity buzzing their ice axes and being surrounded by lightning, is something else. |
I would love to hear/read their stories. I can imagine that it was quite terrifying, being that close, AND having the wind blowing everything in their general direction.
