Our time on the planet comparatively is a small blip. That's how self-important humans are...they think Yellowstone is going to erupt just for them.

Mount Tanbora is the closet thing to a super volcano that has ever gone off in modern written history... Back in 1815, it caused what is referred to as the year with out a summer. Not the size of Yellowstone's but big enough to effect most of the planet.
It was a VE7 and super volcanos are VE8.
