I check the seismic activity often at the JMA web site. Large 7.1 quake a couple days ago off the east coast followed by a small earthquake very close to Fuji. I think people are crazy to be climbing the mountain in its current state. Thanks for the post.

I alwaya thought they had planned for Mt Fuji blowing up by building the other capital. 京と.

Could you also write about evacuation plans from Japanese residents living n the area? I’m curious about they’ll cope with Mt. Fuji erupting.

The good thing about little eruptions is that it reduces the pressure. The longer Mt. Fuji sits there not erupting, the bigger the eruption will end up being :(

I don’t know – Volcanic eruption and earthquakes both seem so random, and I think the best they can do is a “within 5 years” estimate, and even that is a bit too specific. Just seems to me to be too difficult to predict these things, even with fancy alien technology of the future.
