One fellow said that it was not an ordinary volcano eruption, actually, it was not a volcano at all. I think I was too young to fully comprehend what exactly happened on the grand scale of things.

Lot of people homeless that time when mt.Pinatubo was erupt. I think that was a bad disaster happened in the Philippines way back in 90′s many people was dead and animals.

Pinatubo erupted. My parents are not around and I was taking care of my baby sister. I was shock when I notice it was gloomy that day and little by little ash falls and cover our roof with ash for just an hour. I need then to wash it so that our roof will not fall.

We were evacuated on the USS Abraham Lincoln. It's a time I will never forget, when the sky got dark and the ground shook. No power, no water, and coming home with what could fit in our slightly damp suitcases from standing in the rain all day waiting to get on the boat. I will always remember the kind sailors who got us safely back home (and to where there was power and water). I was there during the erruption too, but in Subic.

Pinatubo erupted and I remember the black mushroom cloud and the raining ash. My dad was stationed in Subic Bay and stayed behind to help evacuate and clean up while we had to take a ship to Cebu and fly out from there. I totally relate to the culture shock and being poor. It was me, my mom, and my little sister in Minnesota (where my dad was from!) I remember we had to walk to the bank in the snow, and people drove by laughing and telling us to get a car! My mom had to get our clothes from Goodwill and we rented out someone's basement. And we totally lived it up in the Philippines. We had nannies and caretakers too!! It's crazy how life was affected by the eruption. If it had never happened I know that I would still be in the Philippines because that's where my father wanted to retire. I wouldn't know anything about life in the States. I now live in southern California. But all in all, it's a great life story that I will be able to tell my children. And my husband still thinks it's an incredible story! I was 9 when Mt. Pinatubo erupted and I remember the black mushroom cloud and the raining ash.

Thanks for the info! It was really well written! I'm doing this report on Mt. Pinatubo in geography at school. And this story really helped me a lot! I always feel so sorry for the people that died in the eruption. It makes me very sad to hear about all those people out on the streets. Anyway thanks for the info. Ps. I am so getting an A+!!!

Being one of the Rescue Swimmers aboard the ship I spent a lot of time on deck with the refugees. It is very hard to find information anywhere about the evacuation effort, even on Navy and Unit history sites related to the ships and units involved.

I live in the Philippines now and last year, (gr.4) we were studying about our past presidents. and when we were studying about Corazon Aquino(cory), we learned that mt. pinatubo erupted. and m teacher in that subject told her experience too. after she told us, i learned that lots of people were experiencing poverty. that night. i asked my mom if she still remembered anything about the erpution. Like everyone, she shared some stories that my grandmother and grandfather owned a bakery. they sold A LOT of cupcackes! But then when the eruption happened, the people there owed a lot of money but they couldn't pay the amount back. So my grandmother felt VERY sorry for them and said:"hindi na kailangan bayaran ang kailangan niyong bayaran sa akin." wich means in english: "you dont have to pay what you owe me anymore." but then. she eventually lost her bussines. but what i learend from there was that lots of people lost their homes during the eruption and and were simply left homeless. About months after my mom told me the story, it was summer. and the first place we went to was Baguio. on the way, we saw gray dust. it was EVERYWHERE! and my mom explained to us that those were the ashes form the mt. pinatubo eruption. there were so many! and i could imagine how it looked like before!(it wasnt a pretty site:[) i also couldnt imagine it reaching so far!(the ashes) im sure we're gonna study about this in grade six again, so im gonna share everything i learned with all my classmates. thanks for the story! it was so well written!:) hey. i found this peice really good.
