This is your government speaking. We don’t have precise figures for other volcanoes, so we can say that the 1980 Mt. St. Helens eruption was the deadliest in history.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

Since practically all the US worst weather related disasters took place before 1950,
they never happened.
The Dust Bowl never happened, the Galveston Hurricane never happened, the 1935 Florida Keys hurricane never happened, etc., etc., etc.
Since World War II happened before 1950, it never happened.
Anyone born before 1950 does not exit.
reference please.
There are still 7.9 miles of undiscovered caves in Wind Cave. SD.
Steven:
How do they know the mileage if the caves are undiscovered. Could it be that they are unexplored due to being inaccessible?
I am aware of discoveries made using ground radar.
No, they are completely undiscovered. No one even knows what part of the park they are in. The more exact figure is 7.93 miles of undiscovered caves.
Michael:
I first saw that photo in the 60s and there are no references needed to support Steven’s statement because it is all over the news during the last few days that records have only been kept by NOAA since 1950.
I don’t doubt the truth of it, but how can I pass it on, without a source?
Am I expected to know which news source you use, and follow it?
Ah, I’ve caught on: it’s the “precise figures” bit that’s key, innit?
Krakatoa 1883 killed an _estimated_ 40,000 people.
If you don’t have a precise figure, then you can’t use it. Like how the US government is hiding the decline in tornado deaths.
“Steve Goddard thinks Italy is part of the U.S.”
WTF
WTF, indeed. Just trying out the headline based on your post, and your photo from Pompeii.
They have people in Italy too.
“The Most People Ever Killed By A Volcano Is 57”
Clearly I’m missing the entire point of this post. Can anyone explain it?
Clearly, you are.
And you can’t explain it?
I’m sure I can.
My guess is that he’s addressing recent claims about highest death counts ever for certain weather events (not sure which claims). Presumably, these aren’t the highest counts ever for such events, and may not even be close, but they’re claimed as such because we don’t have exact death tolls for the older events.
Thus, he’s parodying it by comparing St. Helens to Vesuvius, Krakatoa, take your pick.
At least that’s my take on it…I don’t understand some of the stuff on here.
-Scott
The US Weather Service has chosen to ignore all tornadoes prior to 1950, because they say that they don’t have an exact death count.
Using their logic: 695+/2 < 500
