The eruption of Toba was beyond anything we've EVER experienced. It's believed that it was 100 times larger than any volcanic eruption ever recorded by man. It is believed that it dropped the temperature of the planet by 3-6 Celsius for a number of years, and actually made have accelerated the onset of the next glacial period. That's far more powerful than a "suitcase bomb" which would be a few thousand Kilotons, at most.. Again, I'm not saying that human life would survive (but I assume a few would).. But that Nature would recover and soon be thriving once again.. Nature is far more resilient than we fragile humans are.. Well the biggie is Yellowstone, who knows when. That one would take out the entire U.S. Unzip a caldera almost 100 miles across. Don't want to even think about it. St. Helens is warming up again. Experienced that one personally. Hopefully not again.
