Volcanic Eruption May Be Biggest Ever Seen From Space

[Disciple]

I have a Polaroid I took from about 30,000ft a week after. It's a color pic, but you'd swear it was B/W.

I would like to see that.

I would like to see that.

How do I upload a Polaroid?

I'll see if I can dig it out and take a decent pic of it.

Actually Mt. St. Helens was a little bigger (5 vs 4).

If one watches the common video of St. Helens it doesn't look as impressive before the camera gets wiped out, but it was pretty devastating. I have a Polaroid I took from about 30,000ft a week after. It's a color pic, but you'd swear it was B/W.

Mt St Helens was a BFD, I still remember that one. Poor ****ing camping family in a station wagon trying to outrun it. Old timer with his cats got his wish.

I still have a couple vials of ash from it.

Seeing that ash plume and shock wave from this one is mind boggling.

Still though, a 4 can cause some weather changes depending on how much outgassing it produces. We'll have to see how much this one does in the long run.

Absolutely! Wasn't meaning to diminish it. The various footage available is incredible. And a 4 might as well be 4 million if it happens nearby. Some folks around here are frantic to get ahold of friends and family in Tonga. Lots of Polynesians in UT.

Side question. Anyone know a good way to digitize polaroids? All I'm getting from taking pics my old shots of St Helens looks like crap.

I use a cheaper scanner from walmart. Think its a HP envy 5505. I scan all my firearm related stuff with it, Works good with photo's if you crank up the resolution.

You could also just get it scanned for a couple bucks at a UPS Store or Fedex Office.

I'm surprised "they" haven't blamed the eruption on Global warming or some crap.

"Well, like, a warmer atmosphere is less dense. So, like, it's easier for the volcano to push out! Like, OMG, how do you not know this. It's SCIENCE!" -AOC
