The Tungurahua volcano (just south of Quito, Ecuador) has had a spectacular eruption. Lava shot 8km into the air! If you turned Austin sideways and shot lava 8km upwards from Primavera, it would reach almost to Town Lake.
The volcano also annihilated three villages and killed some dozens of people. I welcome your thoughts as to how to treat this in class:
> suggest buildings were destroyed but tiptoe around the deaths
> full truth but delicately expressed
> skip the whole human-impact aspect
