\"Pompeii<\/a>Willis Research Network has put together a list of the European and Caribbean volcanoes that could erupt with spectacular results.<\/p>\n

Those results wouldn’t be limited to ash and fire, like the current Eyjafjallajökull eruption mostly is, but would hit population centers as well.<\/p>\n

Not just people would be under threat from the flow of lava and the density of ash, but residential homes as well.<\/p>\n

The value of the payouts insurance companies estimate for those flows is also provided, and some are staggering.<\/p>\n
