Excited to see Dr. Bryan Black's research using dendrochronology to establish an exact date (and season!) of the Electron Mudflow in the Puget Sound/Tacoma/Seattle region featured in the NY Times today! 'If the Volcanic Eruption Doesn’t Scare You, the Mudflow Should' www.nytimes.com/2026/01/16/s...

Before and after the catastrophic glacier collapse and consequent mudflow in #Blatten, Switzerland. Note the lake that has formed behind the accumulation zone.

Geology isn’t always clean work.
Graduate student Harry Glicken found himself mired in a North Fork Toutle River mudflow deposit—what his USGS colleagues called the “glop.”
His mud-streaked jeans say it all.

This is the path of 1980 eruption mudflow at Mt. St. Helens. The eruption liquefied the glacier creating the mudflow.

#MSH45 | "Hell on Earth"
KOMO cameraman Dave Crockett arrives at Mount St. Helens just as the eruption begins.
He races down the South Fork Toutle but is quickly trapped by a mudflow.
Ash blots out the sky. He leaves his car, turns on his camera, and walks—convinced he won’t survive. He will.

And one last photo, as we see a drowned snag in Spirit Lake caused by a circa 1500 mudflow blockage.

May 18, 1980 | "Hell on Earth."
KOMO cameraman Dave Crockett leaves Seattle at 4:30 a.m. At 8:32, he steps out along the S. Fk. Toutle and focuses on the mountain. A black plume shoots from the summit.
Minutes later, he's surrounded by mudflow. On foot, still filming — convinced he won't survive.

One month after the eruption, up the mudflow-devastated North Fork Toutle River valley—where homes and cabins had lined the banks for decades—it’s a twofold struggle.
Getting to destroyed property is hard; keeping out sightseers and looters is harder.

Incredible flash flood in Tyrnyauz (1300m asl, Caucasus, RU) yesterday...! 😲😱
This is the main town of the Baksan valley (35 km east of Elbruz, 5642m) which was already hit on July 18, 2000, by a deadly mudflow (8 fatalities, 40 missing, 930 resettled from damaged houses!)

This honestly looks like some of the post-Mount St. Helens 1980 lahar (mudflow) images I've seen. So very sad.

A precise date (1507) for the most recent massive lahar (volcanic mudflow) from Mt Rainier that swept more than 35 miles from the mountain over the town of Electron. Yup, that huge mountain looming over the landscape of Seattle and Tacoma, WA

One of those days at the office for USGS’s Harry Glicken.
Sharon Diehl captured the moment after Glicken was pulled out of the mud left behind by May 18's lahar — caked to the knees, grinning anyway.
Maybe juuuuust a little embarrassed.

Good morning. I just woke up from an anxiety dream where I was going to my wedding this weekend and it was raining. Then it was flooding and I had stopped for lunch and almost got swept away in a flood, then almost stuck in a mudflow. Then I was driving an older car that wouldn’t start. How are you?

I'm now spending more time triaging the mudflow of AI generated dogshit slop my peers are committing than progressing my own work. In the world of the blind, the one eyed man is not king, but a constantly anxious shepherd angry that some fuckwit has given them all rollerskates.

2️⃣/3️⃣ carrying large quantities of mud, rocks, tree debris, and other material. This resulted in a powerful mudflow that struck the area near the Cirque de Fer-à-Cheval nature reserve. A 57-year-old tourist was killed in the mudflow, swept away by the mudflow. About 170 people were evacuated ⤵️
