It is the only mud pot or mud volcano known to have moved so ...
The conflagrations devastated steep slopes, which caused loss of vegetation and destabilization of the soil and greatly facilitated subsequent mudflows. The mudflows caused at least $177 million (2018 USD) in property damage, [2] and cost at least $7 million in emergency responses [2] and another $43 million (2018 USD) to clean up. [3]
