I think people struggle with the magnitude.

Mt St Helens, for example. Not the largest eruption.

But a landslide of approximately 2.5km^3 (over 3 billion cubic yards).

Okay, some say, so that is a lot of earth...

and then you learn that the landslide was moving at speeds of up to 160mph.

That's a LOT of energy.

It sure is. And we've yet to survive our modern-day supervulcano eruption.
