Mount St. Helens erupts in 1980. Steve Firth, a friend of the man who took this photo had the following to say: “...That Pinto and dirt bike belonged to a good friend of mine and when he stopped to turn around, he took this picture.

He told me that there was lightning bolts shooting out of the smoke but he didn’t have the right filter on his camera to capture them at that moment. The picture could have been even more amazing.

It was used on the TV news and used to be on the cover of Mt. St. Helens brochure at the Johnston Observatory / visitor center.

He gave me an original 8×10 copy of it although it looked like he was a good distance away from the blast, he barely made it out of there alive.

Had the blast came more in his direction he would have died in seconds. Sometime later he returned and photographed a burned-out pickup with a horse trailer attached to it.

He told me he had talked to them that day and said they never made it out. He is a freelance photographer so he took some amazing pictures of the aftermath as well. Anyhow, I thought I’d let you know a bit more about that fabulous picture."

According to the @USGS an M 4.8 earthquake occurred 6 km ESE of Califon, New Jersey this morning at a depth of 4.7 km. Earthquakes in the central & eastern U.S., although less frequent than in the western U.S., are typically felt over a much broader region.

East of the Rockies, an earthquake can be felt over an area as much as ten times larger than a similar magnitude earthquake on the west coast. A magnitude 4.0 eastern U.S. earthquake typically can be felt at many places as far as 100 km (60 mi) from where it occurred & it infrequently causes damage near its source. A magnitude 5.5 eastern U.S. earthquake usually can be felt as far as 500 km (300 mi) from where it occurred & sometimes causes damage as far away as 40 km (25 mi).

Earthquakes everywhere occur on faults within bedrock, usually miles deep. Most bedrock beneath New York & New Jersey was assembled as continents collided to form a supercontinent about 500-300 million years ago, raising the Appalachian Mountains. Additional bedrock formed when the supercontinent rifted apart about 200 million years ago to form what is now the northeastern U.S., the Atlantic Ocean & Europe.

At well-studied plate boundaries like the San Andreas fault system in California, scientists can often determine the name of the specific fault that is responsible for an earthquake. In contrast, east of the Rocky Mountains this is rarely the case. New York & New Jersey are far from the nearest plate boundaries, which are in the center of the Atlantic Ocean and in the Caribbean Sea. The I-95 corridor is laced with known faults, but numerous smaller or deeply buried faults remain undetected. Even the known faults are poorly located at earthquake depths & few, if any, earthquakes in this region can be linked to named faults.
