Let's hope it has a "silent" eruption and not in an explosion!

Wikipedia "Volcano":

>>
...Such explosive eruptions can produce a wide range of volcanic debris, such as volcanic ash (also known as tephra), volcanic bombs, which can be large enough to kill people and animals. Eruptions can vary from effusive to extremely explosive...

...Large, explosive volcanic eruptions inject water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), hydrogen chloride (HCl), hydrogen fluoride (HF) and ash (pulverized rock and pumice) into the stratosphere to heights of 10-20 miles above the Earth's surface...The aerosols increase the Earth's albedo - its reflection of radiation from the Sun back into space - and thus cool the Earth's lower atmosphere or troposphere...

If we don't make it, volcanoes will ; )
