Yep! I was in Salem Oregon that morning flipping burgers for a living. We felt it and not long later saw the plume. A lady I worked with was freaking out, thought it was a nuclear bomb. I was 17 and wasn't completely sure she was wrong. Then a customer came in and said "So, St., Helen's finally blew." Umm, yeah that does make more sense.
We shoveled ash for a few days then the winds changed more easterly.
My guess is since you were one you don't remember much of it.
