I remember this day well. Tried to get as close to the mountain as we could on the west side (not the smartest idea). We made it to Cougar Wa. Where we were stopped. Wound up sitting on a hillside basking in the sunshine of a beautiful day while the 40,000 ft. High column of ash rose straight up in front of us and then carried east by the jet stream. It was black as night in Yakima, just over the other side to the East. What sticks in my mind most were the constant bolts of lightning that were emanating from the ash cloud, created by the friction of all the earthen particles.
