Mount St. Helens, relatively quiet for the past several months since awakening last fall, jettisoned a 36,000 foot plume of ash and steam that was visible in the Tuesday twilight for miles around. The towering plume marked the most spectacular eruption in months. " It was the most amazing ash plume -- by far the biggest I've seen since this activity started last September," said Stephanie Burhop, who witnessed the eruption from her home in nearby Cougar, Wash. It is the closest community to the mountain.
