Mount Pelee erupted in 1902
from April 24th into May emitting lava and ash flows.
Several explosive eruptions preceded the largest a blasting eruption
on May 8th.
Saint-Pierre was covered with layers of volcanic ash and rock. Many
people were killed from the intense heat of a nuee ardente; a
dark black cloud of smoke. Volcanic rumblings increased causing
the devastating mudflow that poured through Saint-Pierre and the
village of Mome Rouge on May 5th. 30,000 people died. Only two
people from the area of destruction survived. This Mount Pelee
eruption was the 3rd deadliest and 8th most powerful eruption in
historical times with a Volcanic Explosivity Index of 4. It is
the most deadliest of the 20th century.

State awakes with an explosive eruption that takes out the top and side
of Mount St. Helens. The eruption began with an earthquake and
resulted with a landslide and an explosion directed both
horizontally and vertically that blankets eastern Washington
with ash. The huge quantities of volcanic particles ejected into
the atmosphere had an effect on climatic patterns. Harry Truman of Spirit Lake lodge, enamored with the
media attention prior to the explosion vows to stay on the
mountain. Truman in his 90s perished with the lodge in the
explosion. Activity afterwards and until 1989 consisted mainly
of lave dome forming. 57 people including Harry died in the
blast. This 1980 eruption of Mount Saint Helens was the 5th most
powerful eruption in historical times with a Volcanic
