Summary

Description This downstream view of the North Fork Toutle River valley, north and west of St. Helens, shows part of the 0.55 cubic miles (2.3 km3) of debris avalanche that slid from the volcano on May 18. This is enough material to cover Washington, D.C. to a depth of 43 feet (13 m). The avalanche traveled approximately 15 miles (24 km) downstream at a velocity exceeding 150 miles per hour (240 km/h). It left behind a hummocky deposit with an average thickness of 150 feet (45 m) and a maximum thickness of 590 feet (180 m).
