OK, I did find this from Wikipedia:

"A pyroclastic flow (also known scientifically as a pyroclastic density current[1]) is a fast-moving current of hot gas and rock (collectively known as tephra), which reaches speeds moving away from a volcano of up to 700 km/h (450 mph)"

Good grief! Can you say "flash broiled".

How?

I know volcanic ash is essentially powered glass, but how would it kill us?

So, what you're saying is there won't be ODT anymore . . . if this happens?

The only good news is that it's close to california and if it erupted we wouldn't have to hear from feinstein anymore

I saw this mentioned on several shows on the History channel.

I am starting to hope it erupts with all of the BS that has happened recently...

Volcanic Gases are extremely toxic, containing sulfur compounds and such.
