When Krakatoa exploded (and exploded and exploded and then exploded again), more than 70% of the island vaporized. The sound, which could be heard over 3,000 miles away, was so loud that sailors' ear drums burst. The energy wave circled the entire earth something like three or four times.
It all started with some eruptions. Some rumblings. Some volcanic activity. This went on for months until finally ... BAHBOOM. BAHBOOOOOM. BAHFREAKINGBOOOOM. And then, finally and without mercy, BAAAAAAAHFUCKINGBOOOOOOMBAH.
I'm not a betting person, but, kids, if I were anywhere near Hawaii right now, Big Island or not, my ass would be on an airplane so fast my damn underpants would have to fly separately to catch up to it.
It has been fun, Hawaii. Enjoy the eruptions ... but consider a one-way ticket.
