The explosion was equivalent to over 1,000,000 kilotons of TNT versus the 20 Kilotons of the Hiroshima atomic bomb.
the impact of the June 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo was global. ...
A similar phenomenon occurred in April of 1815 with the cataclysmic eruption of Tambora Volcano in Indonesia, the most powerful eruption in recorded history. Tambora's volcanic cloud lowered global temperatures by as much as 3 °C. Even a year after the eruption, most of the northern hemisphere experienced sharply cooler temperatures during the summer months. In part of Europe and in North America, 1816 was known as "the year without a summer."
The tsunami was 40 meters high!! The tsunami that struck Fukushima was small in comparison, "only" 15 meters high.
A series of large tsunami waves generated by the main explosion, some reaching a height of nearly 40 meters (more than 120 feet) above sea level, killed more than 36,000 people in the coastal towns and villages along the Sunda Strait on Java and Sumatra islands...
The total energy released by the four main events of the 1883 eruption was equivalent to 200 megatons of TNT.
