Tunguska explosion
The caption on APOD today http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html indicates that the Tunguska event was the largest recent natural explosion. The eruption of Mount Krakatoa, for example (1883) was at least 10 times bigger --- 200 megatons! /http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krakatoa]
