Will This End? A volcano has erupted 3 hours ago in San Francisco. It started when the air became 20 degrees C above normal. Then there were so many tremors the glass pots and cups fell of cupboards.

Scientists say that the lake (100,000,000 gallons) was heating up in just 12 hours. In the subways it was getting hotter, fire hydrants were exploding and this is a huge geological event.
The problem was that people were ignoring the scientists.
Interview We interviewed Brad Johnson and he is 45 years old who was there on holiday at the time. He was the first person to see all the lava flow out of the volcano. The first question we asked him was what he felt like when he saw all the lava. He said: “When I saw the lava I totally freaked out and rushed to my hotel to get my wife and kids.” Then we asked him what it smelt like and he said:
“When I saw the lava, there were cars parked on the side of the road. When the lava hit the cars I smelt a lot of burning rubber.”
So how can we solve this? Finally, a man from the fire department came up with an idea. His first idea was to get helicopters and drop water. That didn’t work. The second idea was to direct the lava to the Pacific Ocean. That did work. Please stay calm.
