The most destructive volcanic eruption ever recorded was the eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia in 1815. It resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of people directly and indirectly due to the eruption and its aftermath, including crop failures and famine. The eruption also caused a "Year Without a Summer" in 1816, with widespread climate abnormalities and crop failures around the world.
The most destructive eruption of Mount Hood occurred around 1,500 years ago.
