We just had an emergency alert for tsunami here in Puget Sound. I don't recall that happening before.

That is an amazing video. That was one hell of a shock wave to distort the image so much through lensing.This video is amazing. The cloud is at least 200 miles in diameter. But is this video in real time? Or speeded up? This looks more like a super volcano!
Eruptions at sea turn out to be much worse. The initial eruption opens the magma chamber to the sea which rushes in and creates one hell of a steam eruption. The 1883 Krakatoa eruption is an example.Imagine it that had happened on land somewhere.
I looked on Google earth and now think the size of that cloud is on the order of 600 miles in diameter. This is insane! If it were Yellowstone it would stretch to Boise, Salt lake, to South Dakota, to Canada.
The Tsunami has hit the West Coast
Well, large systems provide larger amounts of energy. The Earth is a small planet, but I wouldn't want to paint it. I was impressed with the capture of the eruption on video from Sat.I am astounded at what the energy released figure must be. We pat ourselves about how much energy we can release but it pales beside that event.
