Yep, they are in fact pretty great.

As for tsunamis and earthquakes, be kinda freaky if that all happened around the same time of year and same place as last time. :eek:

Is that map supposed to be accurate? Volcan Pacaya is not errupting. They seem to stick a load of active volcanoes on orange alert on that map.

Earths activity has been increasing in recent years. There are a lot of very acitve and dangerous eruption points.

i also ask the same question... is this one accurate?

i don't think they put the loads of active volcanoes on orange alert though, because in Indonesia around 129 are actives and the one of the most active is mount Merapi in Java, which status is red alert most of the time but not shown in the map.

Not too sure about the volcanos. But I've seen it report serious car accidents in Ireland and when the pork crisis was on Ireland had a big Biohazard symbol over it.
