Some scientists are worried that it just might:

TOKYO, July 17 (UPI) — Japan’s Mount Fuji last erupted in 1707, but records suggest the average interval between events is 30 years — and that is making scientists very nervous.

Volcano experts believe Fuji has erupted about 75 times during the past 2,200 years. But during the last 300 years there has not been one such event.

Mount Fuji is located 70 miles from Tokyo in a very heavily populated area in which the government estimates an eruption might cause more than $21 billion dollars in damage.

Are you prepared for the great eruption? I think I’m out of range of any lava flows, but the massive cloud of ash will probably be visible from my apartment’s balcony.  Until then, I’ll be monitoring the live Mt. Fuji cam for any developments.
