Wow, thank you for this wonderful video. We are going to use it for our lessons on volcanoes. Do you have videos on other geologic topics? Thank you in advance.

Mt. Rainier has a well established 'lahar basin'...there have been many pyroclastic flows in the Nisqually valley. The Town of Nisqually has a Lahar Surfing Club...members of the Club keep surfboards on the roofs of their homes...

"Death or severe injury is certain for those caught by a pyroclastic flow." You can just omit the "severe injury" part. No one actually directly hit by a pyroclastic flow is getting any outcome other than nearly instant death. There is no close call or survival condition with 1000-degree molten rock, gas, and ash.

This has gotta be one of the WORST ways to die….Not only are you scorched alive, but you are forced to breath in extremely toxic gas, and painful rocks/debris…this is exactly what happened to Pompeii…

I’ll never know why people build homes around volcanos. At the least be like 3 cities away minimum.

Now this is what the dust cloud at the wtc looked like which contained tremendous amounts of heat from the use of nuclear explosive devices contained in the basement which were blown upward through the buildings breaking the concrete floors and separating the exterior walls from the interior supports. The mushroom cloud was contained in the building, but the resulting heat formed something very much like this pyroclastic flow into the streets below. LLXIIX77

I think a cellar or nuclear bomb shelter might be a good way to survive
