8/2: Volcanic stuff

People were talking about Pinatubo back there...

Pinatubo put ash over two miles straight up in the first few minutes of eruption.
The ash cloud left the area in pitch darkness for almost 24 hours, visibility at like, 100 feet.

And it wasn't the biggest in "recent" history, as CyclopONE said.

And guess who lives at the foot of a "dormant" volcano? (you know they're never reeeeeeally gone...)

Yangminshan, the one rigth behind my apartment, put almost a kilometer of ash down over Taipei, ten or fifteen thousand years ago.

And I'm sure some of you've heard what'll happen if Yellowstone goes up? It's about due for a supereruption, sometime in the next... ten thousand years.
