    I like how calmly Icelandic civilians and government workers seem to be coping. I know there are only about 300,000 of them, but they get repeated emergency advisories out faster than one warning would get out in, for example, Oklahoma USA. Anybody who wants to be near Hot Flowy Death right now WANTS to be near it. Source: every time the good citizens of a county in Oklahoma are warned about a (water mixed with trees) flood, there’s always THAT GUY who says the county didn’t do enough to warn HIM and that’s why XYZ happened.
