SUE RUFF AND BRUCE NELSON
The couple who were blasted by a volcano (Washington State, USA 1980)
Sue Ruff and Bruce Nelson were camping with friends on the mossy north bank of Washington State’s Green River. At around eight-thirty in the morning the group of six were happily toasting marshmallows for breakfast. Their plan was to do some fishing in a quiet spot about twelve miles north of a volcano called Mount St Helens.
The volcano is more than eight thousand feet high but Ruff and Nelson were so far away that they couldn’t even see its snow-capped peak. Had they known it was about to erupt they might reasonably have assumed they would be safe, but within seconds whole forests for nearly thirty miles around were flattened by the blast. Along with scores of other hikers and loggers they were suddenly in great danger.
We now know that the catastrophic eruption was the deadliest in American history, and by far the most destructive. Two hundred and fifty homes were destroyed almost immediately, together with many bridges and hundreds of miles of road and railway.

The impact triggered a powerful earthquake and, as a column of smoke and ash rose a dozen miles or more into the air, water from melting glaciers on the volcano began to pour down creating the largest mudslide ever recorded. Stretching more than fifty miles, an avalanche of rock and soil careered down the mountainside at an estimated speed of 150 miles an hour. Everything in its path was swept away and buried. The noise was horrifying, one witness later likening it to the sound of several passenger jets flying through the trees. As a vast cloud of burning ash descended on Nelson and Ruff the area around them was plunged into sudden darkness. Unable to see where they were going, the pair stumbled then tripped and fell into a deep hole. They were in shock and disoriented, but crouching below ground they were at least protected from the great cloud of heat swirling around above them.
It took a few minutes for things to calm down, but when they climbed out of the hole they found themselves in the middle of what looked like a lunar wasteland. Aside from singed hair they were more or less uninjured.
Across an area of 230 square miles everything was levelled. Whole buildings disappeared, ancient cedar trees with trunks up to six feet in diameter were uprooted and thrown to the ground, and the local wildlife was virtually wiped out. As volcanic ash rained down on them, Nelson and Ruff sought shelter under a pile of debris, desperate to avoid being struck by rocks and car-sized lumps of ice hurtling out of the sky.

A) How does the text show the speed and suddenness of the eruption?
This shows the eruption was unexpected and sudden. It also suggests the devastation of the eruption was almost immediate. The effects of the blast travelled a significant distance of thirty miles in an instant.
