Jen, look up some videos of volcano lightning. It is one of the most beautiful things you can ever see.

2025-04-19 00:31:14 +0000 UTCSorry, this is a watch along comment, so it will probably be long. As an amateur geologist, I found a lot of things to be scientifically accurate in this movie (and a lot of things are stupid). They must have had a geologist as a technical advisor while making this movie. Lots of volcanoes in BC as well, eh? All part of the Cascades. The meteors are called "lava bombs." Yes, it was too perilous! I don't think they wanted to back to have just a little bit of peril. ;) Lava bombs are not rocks, they're balls of lava. You'd be surprised how close people live to volcanoes. They figure the fertile soil is better than the odds of the volcanoes will erupt. I've spent months in the Pacific Northwest exploring volcanoes, coulees, etc. The USGS is steadily increasing their volcano monitoring. The warm/hot springs don't usually change, but a bubble or burp of scalding water is always possible. The pyroclastic (hot gas) flow travels at up to 500 mph. You can't outrun it and it can go for miles. The pyroclastic flow from Mt. St. Helen killed a USGS scientist 6 miles away and kept going. Many people were burned badly. It can be up to 1,300F or 700C. An earthquake has to be > 3, usually 3.5 before it can be felt by humans. That's an accurate depiction of bricks falling off of buildings. At 1:05, the volcano really hadn't erupted yet. It was just spewing dust and the opening up the paths for the lava. Yes, lightening is caused by static in the ash. You were saying that they didn't have time to stay at grandma's, that they had to leave. This is Craig Ferguson and his sidekick Geoff the dead gay robot doing an excellent impression of Liam Neeson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeuGxqTZ584 Grandma took an acid bath. The lava was on the other side of the lake, cooling as it hit the water. You will see lava again before it's over. That is an accurate depiction of how the heat from the volcano melts the ice and the water mixes with the dirt on the mountain and causes a mud flow or "Lahar". This was extremely visible during Mt. St. Helen. I think the dam was a little extreme, but they had to dramatize it because it's a movie. However lahars are very dangerous and kill hundred or thousands many times. And they look just like the movie. Logs, trees, houses, anything it comes in contact with floats down the lahar. A lahar is the consistency of liquid concrete usually. The yellow box was a transmitter to NASA for tracking the robotic explorer. I don't know if a pyroclastic flow would cause buildings to explode like that. I think that's a little extreme. Anything flammable would burn because of the heat, but it's not explosive. (see above) In reality, the USGS and/or state GS will monitor unusual volcanic activity before an eruption. Lots of science is used and the movie depicted it pretty well. The volcano is usually the climax. If the volcano starts the movie, it's all about evacuation, then recovery. Good reaction! Great movie, in my opinion. Of course, I look over or ignore the dramatization parts.
