Wow. That is incredible footage.

The power of Mother Nature is absolutely amazing. Hopefully there was some warning for the civilians in danger areas.

It took being called dormant personally.

Dormant volcanoes can still erupt, extinct volcanoes cannot

Yes, I was commenting on the irony of it going off right after being declared dormant.

Wow that thing popped. To feel a Shockwave 10000km away?

That's some perspective right there. Especially if something like Yellowstone pops.

If Yellowstone lets go, the Shockwave is probably the least of our concern, and most of us will probably pray it takes us out instead of what comes after.
