Generally the ash is. Lava flows usually move slowly, allowing plenty of time to escape. Ash, on the other hand, presents a number of dangers. Carried by the wind, an ash cloud can move much faster than most lava flows. Ash can be deadly if too much is inhaled, and the weight of it can cause roofs to collapse. When mixed with water the ash can form mudflows called lahars. Lahars can strike as quickly as flash floods but carry more force. They can bury a town in minutes. Finally there are clouds of superheated ash, rock, and gas called pyroclastic flows. These flows can move down the slopes of a volcano at more than 100 miles per hour, burning everything they hit. In nearly all cases they are inescapable and unsurvivable.
