What is the Volcano Explosivity Index?

The VEI (Volcano Explosivity Index) rates volcanic eruptions based on the volume of ejected material, the height of the eruption plume, and the time duration of the event. The scale runs from 0 (low volume, non-explosive lava flow) to 8 (mega-colossal volcanic explosion, accompanied by seismic events and/or tsunamis). E.g. Mount St. Helens, 1980, had a VEI of 5. Mount Mazama (an exploded volcano that now forms Crater Lake) erupting around 5600 BC, had a VEI of 7.

He got to his shop, called me and told me he heard it too, and it was weird.Minutes later, he called on the telephone and he had heard on the local radio stations that there had been an earthquake. The next day, the news stated it was an epicenter somewhere in "upstate New York" near the Adirondacks, I believe.Then, I experienced my third earthquake (again on either Palm Sunday morning, or Easter) had the earthquake near Goshen, a number of years ago (2003?)...
