    Well, I am glad that the local police were not damaged… lol.. Japan is a hot spot for such activity. I am waiting for numerous volcanoes to start erupting in Japan and elsewhere as in Kamchatka right now.. Yellowstone is acting up too.. over a time perod.. we need to keep an eye on Yellowstone, that would be catastrophic.

      Chris, I keep telling everyone I know to keep their eyes on the volcanoes.. We are headed for dangerous times ahead. I sure hope people are preparing.

        Yea, verily.. I got my emergency supplies and equipment all set up… if we don’t have time to evacuate. I remember Mt. St. Helens in 1980, live just south of there and that was nothing in comparison to what may come with Yellowstone. I am not sure which direction we should go if evacuation is needed. Probaby west though.
