No. The 1883 eruption of Krakatoa did kill about 36,000 people. Although this eruptions was extremely large, Krakatoa is not a supervolcano.
Volcanic gas would come out from a supervolcano during an eruption. In addition, lave would come out and run down the mountain.
If the eruption is huge, the smoke can travel far or there may be an earthquake.
Yellowstone Caldera last erupting about 700,000 years ago.
The caldera that covers most of Yellowstone Park was produced by a supervolcano. A supervolcano is an explosive volcano capable of producing an eruption with an ejecta volume greater than 1,000 cubic kilometers. The Yellowstone Caldera is one of the largest and most active supervolcanoes in the world.

Scientists have no idea what the precursors (or warning signs) are of an impending supervolcanic eruption, and thus have no idea when the next supervolcano will erupt. The last two supermassive eruptions (Taupo and Tambora) occurred long, long ago (24000 and 72000 years ago), and we have no knowledge of what happened leading up to the eruptions (such as increased earthquake activity or patterns). The last three eruptions of the Yellowstone supervolcano have occurred at roughly 600,000-700,000 year intervals, and the last one took place ~640,000 years ago. It could happen soon, or not for tens of thousands of years or more.

Inevitably, the Yellowstone caldera will explode as a supervolcano. Whether that will happen soon is unlikely.
A small eruption would cause the cities 100 miles within the park to be destroyed, with an hour. If the eruption triggers the supervolcano, it can cover two thirds of the United States.

At Yellowstone, we see the caldera or what we call a supervolcano. The volcanic profile of Yellowstone in its past is one of a massive eruption that dwarfs anything we understand in current knowledge. Use the link below to the Wikipedia post on the supervolcano to learn more.
A super eruption because the volcano underneath Yellowstone is a supervolcano. it is going to be a very very very very very very big eruption basicly you will die if it goes off so yeh run like hell!!!!!!
July 18 2003 was it last eruption July 18 2003 was it last eruption July 18 2003 was it last eruption
