Icelandic volcano erupts

Also some cause for concern with Italy's volcanoes too!

That article seems so reminiscent of the likely scenario if Auckland's volcanic field starting showing signs of activity. The powers that be along with many residents would ignore warnings until the situation became undeniably dire and then t would be absolute chaos as everybody rushed for the exits.

Akin to earthquake predicting the whole thing is fraught with doubt, conflicting interests and fears of liability putting the authorities in a 'damned if I do, damned if I don't' position.

Yes thats the way I feel too.
Same scenario as in the film Dante's Peak.
