What happens

The Volcano Disaster (also called Volcano: Nature Unleashed or Nature Unleashed: Volcano) is a 2005 Bulgarian direct-to-video film by First Look Studios. The film concerns a volcanologist who learns of an impending eruption at an Italian town and tries to warn the skeptic citizens. Unlike "traditional" disaster films, the eruption is predicted by supernatural rather than technological means. No seismometers are seen in the entire film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
