The event devastated a wide swath of timber-rich land on the north side of the mountain(Figure 9.2).
Trees within a 400 square-kilometer area lay intertwined and flattened , stripped of their branches and appearing from the air like toothpicks strewn about.
The accompanying mudflow carried ash ,trees,and water-saturated rock debris 29 kilometers(18 miles) down the Toutle River. The eruption eruption claimed 59 lives,some dying from the intense heat and the suffocating cloud of ash and gases , others from being hurled by the blast, and still others from entrapment mudflow.
