I recall there was an arial shot that showed a swirling pattern of fallen trees through the blast area.

That is one of the better links.
I've got a bunch of aerial photos that I shot somewhere in my negative archives. When I get a chance I'll see if I can find them & scan a couple.
My favorite way to show people the area was to load them up in the 182 & make a counterclockwise circuit of the mountain at around 6000-8000 feet. As you pass the ridge & first see the blast area, the effect was pretty awesome - even after seeing it dozens of times. The trees for 10+ miles miles in the direct path of the initial explosion were all laid out in rows radiating away from the center of the blast - from the air it almost looks like someone took a giant comb to them.......
