Taupo is one of the world's biggest volcanoes, if not the biggest and is going to blow one of these days. That will make up for all the fireworks on Earth for a few centuries.

It'll happen at high spring tide one day with low lake level and low air pressure. That's because then the pressure holding the gases in liquid phase will be least and the column will turn to gas and launch into the sky in a colossally huge explosion.

It's funny how people worry about trivia like centimetres of possible sea level rise over a century and ignore catastrophes coming down the pike such as Taupo's eruption and Pacific Ocean tsunami from bolide.

found out on evening news philly had the fire works display, after they told everyone to vacate the area due to heavy electrical storms coming in. boy, did it pour. so most everyone of the thousands in attendance left and philly decides a half later to light off fireworks. lol emails going to tv stations are 85% complaints as all those people stayed in several heavy rains and got soaked to see fireworks then told to leave and they had fireworks.
