Here in my little non volcanic island I'm drowning in the fall out of cum from these latest seismic explosions.

Well, there's nothing else for it: it's either sink or swallow!!!

Mmm...

YES! What else is there to do when her gigatons of PYROPLASTIC goodies erupt forcefully out of her?

You're quite right about Krakatau and Mt. St. Helens - and what's more amazing is that both Krakatau and Mt. St. Helens are neighbours to the world's (so far) only known socalled "super calderas" - Lake Toba here in Indonesia and Yellowstone in North America. Krakatau and Mt. St. Helens are mere "kids" in that comparison. Actually, Krakatau is today called "Anak Krakatau" which in Indonesian means "child of Krakatau". The reason is, that the old Krakatau that exploded in 1883, I believe (the eruption you refer to), completely minimized the size of the volcanic mountain.

That was a very devastating eruption that resulted in mega tsunamies (up to 40 meters high) that completely erased all coastal communities in South Sumatra and East Java.

Hmmm... it's only 200 kms from here...
