Information about the story

    This story is a historical narrative, a historical narrative is a true story, the people and the place are true, but it's told like a story.

      The mountain St. Helen erupted in Washington on may 18th,1890.

 Jerry Wheeler and David Jhonton where in the mountain when it erupted. Wheeler survived but Jhonton died in the moment. It erupted because the magma had beer rising inside the Mountain, it makes a lot of pressure when it erupted. This eruption had the force of forty millon tons of dinamite and two thusand times the intensity of the bomb that destroyed the Japense city of Hiroshima in world war II.  

    All the place was destroyed and devastated. In this eruption fifty-seven people died,they sayed that it was a lucky sunday because the children weren´t at school so less people died. Every thing was covered with ashes, smoke and fire. The forest, the plants and animals died and disappear. The hold world was blackend and it was like a "ghost town" because everyone stayed incide their houses and didn't go out because they couldn't breathe.

    The gophers helped the earth because they brought the rich soil up to the surface and it helped to new plants to grow. The elk bones helped to new plants to grow because of the nutrients that they had. Some foresters sayed that it can take hundred years to recover everything.
