Mt. Tambora is the highest peak on the island of Sumbawa in Indonesia. In the early 1810s, Tambora began to rumble and set off many large quakes. But, the eruption of 10 April 1815.had a volcanic explosivity index (VEI) of 7. It caused a major worldwide change in weather known as "The Summer that Never Was". The volcanic ash encircled the globe for several years. In 1815, it snowed through the summer in the northern hemisphere; crops failed; animals perished; people starved or got sick and died. Families had numerous deaths within 6 mos to 1 year span of time. And this occurred before people understood that ash travels in the atmosphere--so most people did not know why the climate and weather suddenly changed.
*In one of my ancestral lines, a father, son, and 2 daughters all died within 6 months of the April eruption because of the bitter cold and lack of food.
