A number that sticks in my mind is 500 KM2. I remember seeing a chart that showed ejected amounts for various volcanoes in history but for the life of me I can not temember where I saw it ( I think Mt St Helens was on it so the newspaper is a fair guess). While gem mining in NC I talked to a geology student who said Tambora is the yardstick by which other volcanoes are compared. Scott
