The "Big Blow" of 1921

The event called “The Big Blow” or “The Great Olympic Blowdown” felled eight times as many trees as the eruption of Mount St Helens in 1980.

  4. "The Big Blowup" was another catastrophic event in the Pacific Northwest in the early 20th Century that was a direct result of Anthropogenic Global Warming.

  5. I was around two when the big blow down of the 1950's hit the Adirondack Mtns. I started hiking back to ponds fishing trout by the time I was eight years old. Weren't any trails back then, ya had to know the land. A couple times beaver had damned up the way so ya had to go around the swail. A couple times we had to go through the remains of the blow down. It was like crawling though Pick Up Sticks but they were huge old virgian timber.
