My Mom used to tell stories about how the roads were still thick with ash when she moved to Spokane from Oregon. The hood on the truck wouldn't stay down either, although I can't remember why.
The ash used to be a real big souvenir for the Northwest, maybe even as big as the Jackalope, if that's possible. I have a jar of it somewhere.

I remember going to Mt St Helens as a kid and the rangers saying "the volcano is dormant, won't ever erupt again".

Yeah, people didn't want to accept it. They had their nice park and their nice homes with the nice mountain view and they buried their heads in the sand.

I arrived in Brisbane on Thursday, the day after the dust storm hit there. Everyone was busy cleaning up dust. On Saturday night I was performing in Fortitude Valley, the neighbouring suburb to the CBD, and at 8pm I could barely make out the illuminated high rises as the dust rolled in again. When I took my costumes and props back to the car at midnight the car was blanketed in dust and looked like it had just returned from an outback safari.
As I drove out of Brisbane Monday morning the radio consisted almost entirely of advice on how to clean up the dust - I'm a little sceptical about using a leaf blower on the living room carpet but putting pillows in the dryer to de-dust them sounds practical. |
