Good points! When Saint Helens went off we were living in Bonney Lake Washington on Lake Tapps. That's near Sumner, Puyallup, etc. While I think much of the ash blew into Montana, we did get a coating of it at our place, maybe 1/4' thick. I remember sweeping off our deck. After the sweeping it was as if I had sanded the whole deck with sandpaper.
My parents were driving home to Burien (kind of a southern suburb of Seattle) when it erupted. They made it home without plugging the air filter, but others weren't so lucky.
