From a George Carlin skit:

"People build a house on an active volcano, and then wonder
why they have lava running through the living room..."

The view!

I’d build there. To deal with the 1500-degree pyroclastic flow Just need to have a large, stocked saferoom under the house and a tunnel exit in case the house collapses under the ash. They do it for tornadoes in OK.

I was reading about this and Mr K (not the one on this forum) was sitting here and I said, “Don’t science guys usually know when an eruption is about to happen? And, you know, warn people?” - because of the photos of people in shorts, with just a purse or backpack, running for their lives with a giant cloud of ash after them.

He said, “There are no science guys in Indonesia.”
