Fun fact: If your house is under 5 ft of ash, it's not covered by volcano insurance. That only covers you if your home is destroyed by the actual eruption/explosion.

What you need is "pyroclastic event" insurance to cover you for ash and lahar.

/ It cost something like $15/year when I lived in Seattle.

// The macOS spell checker doesn't know "lahar."

Brb, gotta camp on top of the ash at the same lat/long coordinates to catch the mailman.
