When we went to Sakurajima, an active vulcano island in the Kagoshima prefecture, there were flying rock shelters and tables with evacuation routes in regular intervals, for the local inhabitans to use. This is how a minor eruption looks like & what locals are long used to:

(Note the cars below just driving about.)
Smaller eruptions are rather continuous, like this one 5 days ago: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7W2iHDZo1Tg https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7W2iHDZo1Tg
- throwawaysea 6y agoIf I lived there and volcanic activity were normal in that way, I wonder if I would actually recognize a stronger eruption and know to leave on time.

Joked to the shop owner about how he could advertise this so much better with a volcano on the bag, instead of just plain white paper bag with black lettering. It's very good.
