    I'm a little baffled as to why people build near Volcanos in the first place.

    Nah. The winds would have to blow just right to hit us. I'll take my chances.

    There aren't any populated areas around Mt Redoubt. The ash can just travel a long, long ways.

    Quit your sniveling. You knew what you were getting into when you moved here.

    See you Sunday. Hopefully we won’t be under a foot of ash by then. :grin:

    I'm not overly worried about it. However, if it does erupt and the winds blow right and my satellite reception is screwed for the Super Bowl, I will have a stroke. Give you a call tomorrow.

    Muchos gracias!

    Not where I live unfortunately. DirecTV is far better than cable anyway.

    I'm not surprised. Take it from me, DirecTV is way better than any cable system and I've worked for Comcast before.

    However, it looks like Mt Redoubt is settling down a bit. As long as it waits until after the Super Bowl to pop, I'll be happy.

    Well the soil around volcanos is particularly f e r tile, allowing for excellent crops etc. Obviously the advent of supermarkets and internet shopping has dwindled our need to grow food for our own consumption and trade (at least in affluent countries) towns and cities still exist close to potential disaster, and for the most part humans recover very quickly.

    Why do people build homes where it's known to have earthquakes?
    Why do people build homes where it's known to have hurricanes?
    Why do people build homes where it's known to have blazing fires?

    Reason: you can't avoid natural disaster wherever you live.

    But, you can avoid Detroit, and nature has skipped that part of the nation, Lions have moved on north.
