Alexander's Wind Blast AP Calculation

I decided to try and calculate the AP of Alex's Wind Blast. Since it's stated that the Wind Blast is "strong enough to decimate entire mountains", I figured pulverization would be best here and I'm using Mt. Shasta as the main calculation. (Was planning on using two more mountains for practice but I couldn't find their area or radius and If you're curious about the other two mountains I was going to practice calculating, they were Mt. Lyell and Mt. Williamson)

Mt. Shasta: Using the formula (Pi)(Radius^2)(Height/3) from this and plugging in the numbers. 3.14159265 x 9764255^2 x 14,179/3= 1.41563876e18 or Mountain Level

I'm sure I did something wrong here since I converted the area of Mt. Shasta to square meters since I couldn't find the actual radius, but that's what practice is for.
 
Mt. Shasta is 14,179 feet tall, which is 4,321.7592 meters in height.
This states the base of Mt. Shasta is 17 miles in diameter, so a radius of 8.5 miles, or 13,679.4 meters.

pi * (13,679.4^2) * (4,321.7592 / 3) = 8.4688273e+11 m^3, or 8.4688273e+17 cm^3
Pulverization of granite = 203.25 joules/cc
8.4688273e+17 * 203.25 = 1.7212891e+20 joules, or over 41 Gigatons of TNT (Island level)
 
Didn't know you had to multiply the pulverization of granite, so that's good to know. Thanks.
