So Krakatoa erupted

JonnyDBrit · Apr 10, 2020

Because this year is already beyond morbid parody

Krakatoa volcano (Indonesia): violent eruption, ash to 47,000 ft altitude

Krakatau (Krakatoa) volcano news & eruption update (Indonesia > Sunda Strait)

www.volcanodiscovery.com

A large magmatic eruption is taking place at the volcano right now. Based on satellite imagery, VAAC Darwin spotted a high-level ash and SO2 plume reaching 47,000 ft (15 km) altitude moving WNW.

A strong thermal hot spot is detected as well. Both the webcam on Anak Krakatau Island and from the coast (in 40 km distance) show strong lava fountaining from the volcano.

So what does this mean

Titik · Apr 10, 2020

The last great eruption was about a hundred years ago, right? We entered a mini ice age of sorts because of that.

Mulberry · Apr 10, 2020

Great, volcanic ash is going to make my allergies even worse.

Nothing, really. The volcano mostly destroyed itself a few years back with a massive eruption that sadly caused a tsunami, you probably saw footage of a band playing being washed away that went viral.

I think it's erupted every year the last couple years

Maybe the earth is offsetting global warming?

djplaeskool · Apr 10, 2020

Looking at info online, I think people are less worried about the volcanic activity and more keeping an eye on potential seismic events.

Fortunately not on that scale, as mentioned above it collapsed a good chunk of itself a couple years back. That said, still something to be wary of in the coming days in the archipelago, given said previous case set off a tsunami

Yeah I'm reading more about it. This volcano has a ton of history Of huge explosive eruptions. This one seems to be a more steady one which is better than just erupting with an explosive force.

With everyone pretty much home, someone probably forgot to turn off an AI simulation at some research lab somewhere and it probably achieved self awareness at this point.

The only people who have the right to be scared is the people around it.

Shit will be fucked if you see a monster come out of it.

I feel sick now, I had never seen it nor knew the story behind it. That's so incredibly sad.

I guess we can expect it to happen one day in the Fall when everyone consecutively turns on their PS5 with all of it's flops and X Series with all of it's backward compatibility.

Constant eruption is good right? Like for releasing pressure or something...speaking as someone who know absolutely nothing about volcano of course.

astroturfing · Apr 10, 2020

at least its not Toba. or one of the big ones in Iceland..

I like this version better:

On-topic, Cheezus Christo 2020, can we slow our roll a bit? Maybe cut it back the serious disasters to until the first one is over, eh?
