I did a little research on Krakatoa and these Javanese volcanoes can be really powerful. When Krakatoa blew, the soundwave reverberated around the globe seven times, it was heard virually everywhere. If you've ever seen The Scream by Munch, you've seen how the sky looked for years after Krakatoa exploded. Right now we've got twenty volcanoes getting nervous with rumbling in the same area as Krakatoa.
