@jxself The volcano is on a peninsula, so there's no imminent danger that the lava could reach the nearby city of Kagoshima:

@codewiz @jxself I hear that this eruption will block an important highway, but they would not be doing anything to redirect the lava. Not sure if its possible in the first place.

@srevinsaju @jxself It's possible if you can find workers willing to dig a trench while a river of lava is approaching from above, the ground is exhaling asphyxiating gasses, and the crater could explode any time, ejecting molten rocks and ashes that will rain over the entire island.
