When Mount St. Helens erupted on May 18, 1980, it caused the largest debris avalanche in recorded history, resulting in the loss of 57 lives. The eruption also released a powerful lateral blast that devastated over 230 square miles of forest and blew down nearly 4 billion board feet of timber. Additionally, it caused ashfall in 11 states and had significant impacts on air travel and the environment.
The Woodlands Mall is a two story enclosed shopping mall located in The Woodlands with a gross leasable area of 125 square meters. The current total number of stores is 360.
The eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980 destroyed and scorched vegetation within a 230 square mile area around the volcano. The blast removed trees and plants, leaving behind a barren landscape of scorched earth and ash. Over time, the area has slowly been recolonized by plants and trees as part of the natural ecological succession process.
When Mount St. Helens erupted in 1980, a massive explosion caused the top of the mountain to collapse, triggering a lateral blast that leveled trees and structures in its path. Hot gas and ash cloud reached speeds of up to 670 mph and devastated an area of 230 square miles, killing 57 people and causing significant destruction. The eruption also resulted in a massive ash cloud that spread across several states.

hundreds of square miles were reduced to wetlands
Assuming the entire area was destroyed within the circle, the total area destroyed would be: about 491 square meters.
Mount St. Helens is a volcanic peak in southwest Washington state, in the Cascade range. In 1980, after 123 years of relative dormancy, it became unstable again.On May 18, 1980, it erupted violently, blasting tons of rock and ash into the air. The south face of the mountain completely collapsed. The summit, which had been building up as the latest in a series of volcanic domes, was completely destroyed. The eruption killed 57 people and did nearly a billion dollars worth of damage to forests and inhabited areas (1980 US dollars). Ash covered thousands of square miles near the area, to various depths.
