my grand grand mother has told this stories to her daughter about krakatoa eruption.then my grandmother has told us about this stories.what i have heard, all asia area is covered by black dark cloud for a week.it look like night even in daylight.and this cloud is poisoning..
Edward Munch's "The Scream" painting may have been an image of the sky after Krakatoa erupted on August 27, 1883. It could be heard 3000 miles away and it was said to have deafened anyone within 10 miles of it. The Scream guy looks like he heard the loudest sound ever to fall on human ears. 😱
I remember one of my late mentors--Walter Coffer--telling me stories about his grandfather recalling how teams of oxen were pulling cargo from Galveston up the Ship Channel to Houston. Now I'm no expert on oxen nor ox carts, but that's pretty damn cold for the HSC to carry that amount of weight!
@@miguelaguirre1319 dude. The explosion was heard 5000 kilometers (!!!!!!) Away! The sound traveled around the world several times. The waves it created were over 40 meters high.
@@harrison553 Yes!!! And also; there was a painter in England in who's paintings of that time, the colors of the British sky show the haze of the ashes of that eruption🎨
Tamboa 1815. Bigger an entire peninsula with a 14,000ft volcano...suddenly 10,000ft with a giant crater..it literally blew 14 square miles of rock upwards..a rushing wind..knocked down trees..before being covered in ash and molten rock.. Krakatoa 1883. Louder...mostly underwater with tsunamis. Both changed weather...both in the same general area. Java and Indonesia.
Tambora volcano exploded in 1815, no actual scientifically accredited records exist. The Krakatau 1883 explosion is scientifically recorded: sound was heard at Perth, Western Australia, Rodrigues Island, Indian Ocean, over large areas of Asia. Seismic records were basic but exist. The best is the very provable fact the the pressure wave travelled from its source at Krakatau, to the antipode in Colombia, South America and back to Krakatau at least 7 times each way. Pumice rafts carrying skeletal remains of animals and humans washed up on beaches in southern Africa, and shipping noted them in the South Atlantic. The catastrophic failure of the volcanic edifice triggered a localised tsunami with 10 metre high waves, which washed away lighthouses, inundated coastal areas, and carried a ship - The Berouw, 3300 (3.3 kilometres) inland, killed an estimated 30000 plus people's. It remains the loudest noise naturally generated in historical times. The noise caused permanent deafness and hearing loss at about 64 km away.
Not one mention of The Scream by Edvard Munch ! The sky is red in his painting because of the ash from the eruption. Well, actually, it's red because during his walk the sky turned red from the eruption, and then afterwards he painted his experience.
The point here, Ladies & Gentlemen, is that we CAN'T CONTROL Mother Earth .......I was living near St. Helens when the famous volcano blew. I was pretty young, so I really didn't appreciate what happened, but the people in the "Blast Zone," who had all been warned several weeks prior to EVACUATE, did NOT LEAVE, and BECAME STATISTICS. I think the oddest thing about this was that my Mother, who had been raised on a farm in the Mid-West, used to talk about how the farm animals would go to the barn and seek shelter sometimes HOURS before a major storm; my pets = three dogs and two cats= began acting especially "odd" many hours before the volcano went off . ( i.e. not eating or drinking, crawling in bed with me, which was sort of interesting since I had a beautiful 100 lb. female German Shepard that absolutely refused to go outside to go "potty," unless I basically carried her.) It was absolutely weird. Right before the explosion, everything took on this eerie CALM----it's like : you didn't know what was happening, BUT all the same, YOU KNEW what was going to HAPPEN. At the major moment ------the atmosphere turned dark GREY, and THAT WAS IT !!! All the LIGHTS went OUT......I tried to think of things I should be doing, such as calling my parents who weren't with me, getting out candles, tuning in to the EMERGENCY RADIO CHANNEL. WE WERE REALLY FORTUNATE; other than having to live without power for a couple of days and having to clean up several inches of grey volcanic dust, that was the only "suffering" we had to do. God Rest; People were killed, but not anyone I knew. C.H.
@@brandyginting875 Make this clear that Indonesia is one and only country , which is worst known for volcanic eruptions and nothing else , where horrific eruptions took place in world's history and lots of properties got damaged out there . 🤨
@@LizziesLukas the island itself was born because of the separation if Java and Sumatra, so it's not 'lucky' that it was there. The tectonic plates from eons ago ripped Java and Sumatra into two separate islands, right in the middle, Krakatoa was born.
Lucky ENOUOH to see this volcano on 2 of my surf trips to java. crossed that straight in a boat times. I also witnessed other volcanoes spewing debris . Saw arenal in Costa Rica. House size boulders sliding down the hill. Truly awesome.
Yes it actually erupted on August 26 1883 I no for fact that was also the day my grandmother was born I kinda kid around I say that the day she was born the earth shook and it did 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
imagine if this happened after the black death human 1 : hey guys we survived the black death human 2 : yeah i guess were lucky human 3 : yeah i cant wait to go home and see my mo- hey whats that "krakatoa erupts" human 3 : NOOOOOO!!
Even greater than the sound reaching our country... I remember one of my late mentors--Walter Coffer--telling me stories about his grandfather recalling how teams of oxen were pulling cargo from Galveston up the Ship Channel to Houston. Now I'm no expert on oxen nor ox carts, but that's pretty damn cold for the HSC to carry that amount of weight!
but he said tens of thousands and then there was a bigger eruption of Mount Toba that almost destroyed the human species. Where is Mount Toba? I am Indonesian
Yeah, quiz some Devils who are the only one's on Earth who really know about Krakatoa Island the same as Mt Vesuvius in 1642AD they all knew but ignored everything about as smart as anyone who believes a Possum in a tree is a rabbit, yeah the eruptions heard for miles.
