(CNN) A tsunami that struck Indonesian coastlines without warning Saturday night killed at least 222 people, left hundreds injured and more than two dozen missing, officials said.
Eyewitnesses described fleeing for their lives as beachfront homes were swept away in the tsunami, which is thought to have been caused by underwater landslides following the volcanic eruption of Krakatoa.
======
This was an eruption of the so-called 'Son of Krakatoa'. This is what happened in 1883:
1883 eruption of Krakatoa
Event
Description: The 1883 eruption of Krakatoa in the Dutch East Indies began in the afternoon of Sunday, 26 August 1883, and peaked in the late morning of Monday, 27 August when over 70% of the island and its surrounding archipelago were destroyed as it collapsed into a caldera. This event killed over 36,000 people & the blast of the eruption could be heard thousands of miles away.
