From
USGS Page on Mt. St. Helens
This picture shows an entire hillside of trees that were blown down from right to left. The ones to the left of the hill were shielded from the direct blast but were singed from the heat.
This one shows a closer view of the trees.
A blast that blows away a cone of mountain that has a 3 square mile base and 1/4 mile high is simply stunning.
