Pyroclastic flows from Mt Fuji eruption could cut major roads: report

This is the second disaster type report we have gotten in consecutive days. Yesterday it was about the Nankai trough and how a huge earthquake would do so much damage and that people are not yet prepared. Now this piece. I know it is of importance, but are they trying to take people's mind of one disaster by making them worry about another?

Pyroclastic flows from Mt Fuji eruption could cut major roads: report

Thank you, Captain Obvious!

re" The council also said it has confirmed some 180 eruptions have occurred at Mt Fuji over the past 5,600 years, with 96 percent considered small- to medium-size in scale.

With the kind of luck going our way the last few years, really hate to put it this way but watch it be this eruption will be one that isn't like in the past and be a 1st ever of its kind..worst case scenario.

And here I thought mt Fuji is becoming active again. A good to know info but probably now is not the best time for this, we have out plate already full of the coronavirus pandemic

On the news last night they added that Tokyo could totally shut down within three hours of such an eruption. The scenario showed black clouds of ash and pumice, in a worst case scenario while it was raining. Wet ash would short-circuit the electricity lines, stopping trains, and it would block roads and disrupt water supplies.
