1816 - The Year Without a Summer

And Krakatoa is rising from it's watery grave..

 

As someone that has lived and thrived in many different climates, including ones with harsh winters, is this just year round winter? That seems like there would be a decently high survival rate, I mean you would have to have more firewood or #2 heating oil but seems doable. If this causes normal winter months to have days where the temperature doesn't get above 50 below zero (didn't they do that in the movie "Day After Tomorrow"?) then we could have a serious problem on our hands.
Either way the prepared will be the ones that have a better chance. Brings up the idea of being ready for cold temps in a place that normally stays decently warm.

Krakatoa had risen from its crater in like the 1920s or 1930s.
It did fart in 2018 and killed like 400 people.

 

Not so much a fart as a collapse

The tsunami was caused by an underwater landslide.
On December 22, 2018, tsunami waves hit the coasts of the Indonesian islands Sumatra and Java, killing more than 400 people and injuring well over a thousand.

The tsunami was caused by the collapse of a 64-hectare (158-acre) section of the Anak Krakatau volcano.

“This caused an underwater landslide,” Dwikorita Karnawati, head of the Indonesian meteorological agency, told The Guardian.

The island of Hawaii poses the same threat to the US....

 

Compared to 1885 which sent a mountain several miles up into the atmosphere, that was not even a fart.

 

IIRC author Mary Shelley penned the novel Frankenstein that summer.
