That thing's stacking clouds like a wedding cake. The mind boggles.

That is something. Kilotons of energy being released.
I haven't seen such a magnificent plume in person, although one in '77 on the Lassen comes pretty close, it had lightning and wafted pine cones two miles.
Big plumes are angry deities.

I love snags, especially when they are burning.

I remember by great aunt telling me about the eruption of Mt Lassen. She lived in Red Bluff at the time. Must have been a hell of a plume on that one.

"complete removal of tree bark"

!!!!!!!

Actual tornado when the heat broke through a "layer" that was holding it down. Read the winds reached 160mph. Pulled in a lot of heat and burning material that created a whirling bit of hell that pretty much cooked everything in it's path.
