There was a big landslide off of Joffre Peak into the Cerise Creek valley. Thankfully no injuries and deaths reported and no vehicles were parked at the trailhead entrance.

No kidding, that's a very popular area nowadays. Went fishing and camping there 35 years ago when nobody knew about it , there was a very primitive parking lot there and just pitched a tent nearby. Mosquitos were really bad though.

Looking at pics of that landslide reminds me that we're approaching the 39th anniversary on May 18 of the largest landslide in recorded history. Well, that landslide caused another much larger event seconds later. It took out many critters, 57 people, and many trees. After visiting the place in 2012, the habitat has made a remarkable comeback. Can anyone guess what this event this is?

Must have been the volcanic eruption of Mt St Helens , I know exactly where I was when it happened . I was fishing ( :lol: familiar theme) at Lightning lakes in manning park on that day when suddenly I heard a loud KABOOM. I had no idea what it was until I turned on the news when I got home . Didn't know that the sound of a volcanic eruption could travel that far. And I believe it happened on the Victoria day long weekend.

I was a little kid and remember the boom from the volcano. My parents thought I had fallen off the bed or something.

Clear skies tonight? And will the aurora borealis move south enough for us to see? It sure would be awesome.
