=================

     On March 20, 1980 -- 35 years ago today -- the eruptive activity of Mount St. Helens began with an intensifying swarm of earthquakes.
    At 3:47PM, an earthquake occurred that was the strongest in this part of the Washington Cascade Range since 1974.
    Mount St. Helens, the most active volcano (in the last 12,000 years) of the Washington Cascades, eventually erupted on May 18, 1980.        
    For tonight, our three questions concern this geological event of recent United States history.
    Accordingly, how much do you know about... Mount St. Helens -- 1980?
    Please choose from any of the 3 (reuseable) answers of "A", "B", or "C" (if applicable!) for each questions listed below.
    Good Luck and remember YOU are always a WINNER with us, regardless of your actual answers!
    Oh, by the wait, Happy Spring!

++ QUOTE OF THE DAY ++  -- from the Preface of the USGS report on the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption, the editors stated:
    "The reawakening of Mount St. Helens volcano in March 1980, and its catastrophic eruption of May 18, surely will rank among the most significant geologic events in the United States in the 20th century".
