In: Thunderstorms and Lightning

[Edit]

Answer

If you are considering the direct affects of the eruption, then it would most likely be the Mount Pelee eruption in Martinique in 1902 when 29,025 died from the ash flows.

If are you considering indirect after affects, then the Tambora eruption in Indonesia during 1815 lead to the starvation of 92,000 people.

If you are considering indirect natural phenomenon, then the 1883 Krakatau eruption in Indonesia killed 36,417 people as a result of the tsunami created by the eruption.
