'Red Alert' Declared As Volcano Erupts
| Quote From Source: | A "red alert" has been declared in Colombia and thousands of people are being rushed from their homes after a volcanic eruption.
The Nevado del Huila volcano spewed hot ash, which has been showering onto villages.
Caracol Radio reported that between 13,000 and 15,000 people who live near the volcano were fleeing their homes.

A red alert should happen before the volcano blows.....Not when its already erupting. I mean most people within sight of a volcano knows if its already erupting ...wouldn't you think? And they would know to get the fuck out of there..I would think.
Wait..heres a thought....Don't build next to a volcano then claim yourself as an evacuee/refugee/victim when it does blow. Why? Because you will be safe and won't give a fuck if it blows...DUH! 
They should take the warning labels off of everything and let stupidity sort itself out.
