Like people living actually INSIDE the Taupo caldera, right on the edge of the crater lake [Lake Taupo] < People always get probabilities wrong, it is what caused the subprime crisis, if they had never experienced something directly, they tend to think the probability is zero and that is wrong. > There is a whole city there. upload.wikimedia.org Unlike with many volcanoes, there isn't significant warning from bleve type explosions.

It seems, on a sunny day, to be a simply splendid, beautiful tranquil idyllic place [hence its popularity]. Standing on the the grass in the town looking across the lake to Mount Ruapehu in the distance is wonderful. It's hard to imagine what is going to happen.

It's like the 100s of thousands of people living at sea level along the east coast of New Zealand on sand spits. They got a bit of a heads up with the tsunami in Japan. I have always liked to live more like 100 metres above sea level [though for a while I was daring at 10 metres].
