World Philippine volcano on verge of eruption but villagers are refusing to leave

[The Helper]

A rumbling volcano in the Philippines was on the verge of a major eruption today – but thousands of villagers living on its slopes are refusing to leave their homes.

Already, 40,000 people have fled the no-go zone around Mount Mayon, which oozed crimson lava during eerie scenes captured last night.

But around 3,000 residents, mostly farmers, remain – with some even returning after being evacuated up to three times by authorities

As well as being covered by rivers of lava, those who stay face the additional danger of suffocating ash explosions, experts said.

Good luck to those 3000 farmers.

Once the lava hits the living room, they are going to think twice...

or it could go kaboom like st helens.

If it's a slow moving lava flow, they'll be able to get out in time. Such flows have a lot of power, and can easily knock over buildings, but you can literally outwalk them. If it's a fast moving flow, they'll have less chance, but if they're quick they'll be alright.

If it's an explosive eruption like Mt. St. Helens, or the more powerful Pinatubo eruption in 1991, then they are pretty much screwed.

"even returning after being evacuated up to three times by authorities"

That's what I call 'stubborn'

I don't think they have a change to think even,
they pass out before the lava hit the living room, because of the heat.

It's Just Stupid of them :nuts:
