Hell of an argument about the explosive index.
Some are saying less than 4. Others are saying that estimate is way low.
I suppose it will depend on when they can get around there and see.
Now imagine this..This one was large. But Krakatoa shock waves went around the world several times. Tambora was bigger than that.
The thing that I always found fascinating about Krakatoa was the famous lighthouse that was smashed in half by a 600 ton coral head that was picked up by the tsunami as it came ashore...and by looking at the remaining stump of the lighthouse, they could see how high in the wave that 600 ton rock was riding.
