After 1:00 am on the 25th, an explosive eruption occurred at the Minamidake summit crater in Sakurajima, Kagoshima City, and it was confirmed that the pyroclastic flow flowed down about 1.8 km from the crater. The Japan Meteorological Agency has issued a new warning around the crater, maintaining eruption alert level 3 and calling for alerts to large volcanic bombs and pyroclastic flows within a range of approximately 2.4 km from the crater near the residential area.

Pyroclasic flow sounds like something you need to get an antibiotic for.

I'm not sure what this is, or if it's even for real...

If you’re lucky. Scalding heat and ash moving at hundreds of miles an hour.

You’ll probably won’t feel a thing if it gets you.

Re: “Be wary of large volcanic stones and pyroclastic flows.”

Good advice for anyone. News you can use.

Of more immediate concern for some of us is large kidney stones and painful urinary flows.

I’ve got part of a bomb from Mt. Saint Helens our in the yard.

Saw them in Autzen Stadium in the ‘70s.

It landed there in 1980?
How far are you from Mt St Helens?

[gundog]

A few hundred miles, in the wrong direction. I climbed to the north rim of the caldera in ‘85.
