Thanks Vic!

I hate to admit it, because by doing so, I open myself up to all kinds of scrutiny, but I, for one, would love to live that near a volcano. Just to experience the rush of an eruption would be like major brownie points on the Bucket List. :-) Many times I've uttered that fateful phrase to people near me in potentially dangerous situations: Do you want to live forever? lolol

PS Sleeping atop a supervolcano (Yellowstone) was such a thrill; sleep was spare, as I laid there and figured the enormity of the caldera. Gads.

I liked your collection of eight images and that short video you found.
It boggles the mind to know some live that close to an erupting volcano of that size.
I wonder how they feel about pyroclastic flows coming their way instead of falling down the other side of that mountain?

I could not sleep at night knowing how fast I would have to get out of there.
