The 2015 Titan Volcano Eruption was the fourth known and it is tied with 2010 as the second biggest eruption to occur on Titan Volcano, then known as Mount Amnoze because scientists still thought the mountain was extinct. The eruption was categorized as Severe VEI 5. It began on December 1st and ran until December 11th, drenching The Amazeman City with hot lava, ash, pumice, devastating pyroclastic flows, and lava flows. Lava bombs were thrown for hundreds of meters. In addition, many blackouts and power outages occurred. In some cases, global temperatures were observed to have dropped by 1-1.5 degrees Fahrenheit post-eruption. Following the eruption, 40 people died, and 200 others were injured during the eruption. Damages once evaluations were completed totaled R$140B ( $350M ), which is record-breaking for the area.
Pre-Eruption to Beginning
3 years ago, a powerful Titan Volcano Eruption estimating Severe VEI 4 rocked The Amazeman City. It was felt 135 miles from the center. It caught most Robloxians offguard. The earthquake caused a total of 28 billion ROBUX (2008 R$) of damage and killed 8 people. Most people thought that the worst was over. Little did they know that this was the reign of the Titan Volcano. However, it was not included in the evaluations and the death toll.
On December 1, 2015, the Amazeman Geological Society have noticed that some activity begun on Titan Volcano. Later that day, a steam eruption was seen from Mount Amnoze. It was a weak VEI-1 eruption. The Amazeman City Mayor said,
If there are indications of a major eruption, we will let people evacuate from Mount Amnoze.
2 days later, a small ash plume was seen around The Amazeman City and its neighboring cities. The ash was sent up to 50 kilometers from surface. It was seen from space. The mayor ordered for an evacuation of the Robloxians nearby the volcano, which was issued 15 hours after. It was an alarming volcanic activity. The eruption is now categorized as a Considerable VEI-3.
A second major eruption began 4 hours after the plume, which was more violent this time. The eruption column began to rise higher than the first one. A state of emergency was issued on The Amazeman City as Titan Volcano erupts. It spewed ash throughout The Amazeman City, and marked a larger phase at the time it erupted at that time, and its record of its highest eruption column of its latest activity until the Third Phase began. It was categorized as a Severe VEI-4.
Falling ash was recorded on The Amazeman City region and its neighboring regions. The largest seismic activity was recorded when a Magnitude 4.2 rocked the volcano.
1 hour and 30 minutes after the second major eruption, a large Magnitude 5.6 earthquake shook the volcano and The Amazeman City following a huge steam smoke. It was a large eruption. It also caused a huge landslide when the activity began, which decreased the size of the mountain not significantly to affect height, which was measured to the feet.
Millions in The Amazeman City flee. Some chose to evacuate in neighboring cities and some chose to stay inside the disaster shelter. It was a deadly day. The mayor, which chose to stay inside the disaster shelter, called this the worst non-hurricane disaster to hit their city.
The eruption followed a snowstorm which is near the coast of The Amazeman City. The snowstorm neared Titan Volcano, making it a double disaster combination. Falling ash became more intense and lethal with a mixture of snow and avalanches came along after its eruption.
Then pyroclastic flow came. The pyroclastic flow's deposits have reached The Amazeman City, which resulted in 5 direct deaths. Falling ash has even affected The Amazeman City, which caused another 5 direct deaths. A rare flash flood inside one of the Amazeman City's subway train occurred which filled half of the subway station. 50% of the water was mixed with ash from The Titan Volcano. The metro station was cleared 2 days later. It was said later to be caused by a double disaster.
Even the Robloxian military evacuated. Some even reached a neighboring city. The volcano continues its eruption, half an hour later. The eruption halted into a magmatic eruption. The magmatic eruption started with a huge 5.7 earthquake along with low level magmatic eruption which caused a landslide. The volcano won't stop erupting, even half an hour after.
The fourth phase of the eruption of Titan Volcano occurred shortly after its high level magmatic eruption. The eruption column reached 12 km. A magnitude 5.2 (aftershock of 5.5 earthquake) occurred and continued its eruption throughout the phase. With the fourth phase, the official preliminary phases of the major eruption has ended.
When the final phase eruption began, a cloud of ash was thrown 32 km into the atmosphere.
Early Warning Systems
The Amazeman City caught the eruption early.
Eruption
During the eruption, lava immediately began to flow from the volcano's crater in rivers, flowing quickly for a lava flow into nearby towns and cities such as The Amazeman City, causing 140 billion ROBUX in damages, mostly to the city, as they were choked by ash and buried by the lava flows. 30 people died from the final phase eruption, but 200 people got injured.
Post-Eruption to Aftermath
After the main eruption, there was a smaller eruption. The ash and smoke in the air made the global temperature drop by 1-1.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
In the aftermath of the eruption, as many as 2,025,000 people were made homeless, and 3,125,000 were left without a job, as the local population relied on farming to make their livings. The shortage of food therefore led to a famine, until aid reached the area 10 weeks later, ending the famine, and giving out food and water supplies to the stricken population, along with vaccinations for the area, as many people were suffering from dirty water related diseases. Aid also provided local farms to the area. Aid was quickly given, and as a result, the death toll was kept incredibly low, at 40 dead. However, it was not remarkable because there was a warning prior to the eruption.
One week after the eruption ended, the mayor of The Amazeman City ordered to all citizens of The Amazeman City that Mount Amnoze will be renamed to Titan Volcano after scientists were fully convinced that the mountain is a volcano. The name change took effect in 2016.
Effects on aviation
The eruption disrupted air traffic, causing one of the most interrupted air travel due to the volcano, with some reaching Bloxifornia due to some reports of sulfur dioxide and volcanic aerosol reaching Bloxifornia. Tens of millions were affected by this type of air traffic interruption.
Effects on transportation
Due to heavy traffic during evacuation, the Government of The Amazeman City set up emergency evacuation airplanes and set up airplane evacuation routes.
