Hmmm is correct.
http://study.com/academy/lesson/volcanic-hazards-definition-types-prevention.htmlThis link doesn't describe Lahars, but they are volcanic gunk mixed w/water, can be hot or cold.
In the '60s, we were packed up, ready to evacuate Lassen Peak area. May have been a false alarm from large trucks rattling the seismograph while driving right in front of it.
Anyway. As a kid, I kept all my toys by the front door.
I know what some children around Oroville Dam may be feeling. I hope counseling is offered to them. Finally, in my 60s, I consulted a therapist because the trauma of that volcanic threat didn't go away.
The nice (?) thing about volcanos is that prior to eruption, they rattle like a pot starting to simmer on a stove. *Generally,* people caught in volcanos have had hot sand falling on their heads for a week.
