Panic in Krakatoa town

Thousands of people fled an Indonesian town yesterday fearing a second Karakatoa disaster.
Word spread in Bandar Lampung, destroyed by the volcano in 1883, that the volcano's successor had erupted and triggered a tsunami along the Sumatran coast.
Only daybreak revealed that Anak Krakatau, or Child of Krakatoa, was not exploding.
Fears of disaster in Sumatra remain high after the Boxing Day tsunami and the Nias earthquake in March.
They have every right to be terrified, but the
seismic sensors should give some warning.
Super Volcano Bump.
I wonder if their government has sold enough of the embargoed relief supplies to buy some chicken bones to predict the actual time of the event...
Krakatoa, east of Jihad?
***Child of Krakatoa,***
Krakatoa katie, she ain't no lady,
When she starts to swing it around.
From an old Mighty Mouse cartoon (1940's)made back when animation was real animation.
I never thought a mouse could turn on a 10 year old like Krakatoa Katie did.
