I would love to have seen Krakatoa when she blew.
My Grand mother was a young girl living in N.Dakota when it blew. She told tales of how cold it was that year and how spectacular the sunsets were.
I take it your grandmother is no longer with us, but told you these stories when you were young?
Did she tell you of anything else? That's pretty interesting, to know someone who can remember something so really fascinating as that tremendous force of nature.
