It was the kind of it was like 24 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 1: a backpack with a hose that came out of it 25 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: and blew the air very fast. Frankie's dad helped him 26 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: put on the big backpack. All right, and then you 27 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 1: hold on here and then pull the trigger. Whoa, Frankie 28 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: was really good at it. It was really hard to 29 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: hold on, but Frankie was actually pretty good at it. 30 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: He held on with both hands for dear life. He 31 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: started screaming and laughing, and his dad was bent over 32 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: laughing hysterically. As Frankie finished the job of blowing all 33 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: the leaves into one big pile, they couldn't wait to 34 00:01:58,320 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: jump in it. 35 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 2: Isn't that like the. 36 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: Best part of raking leaves. 37 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's making a huge. 38 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: Pile and jumping in it. Well, that is what they 39 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: were most excited for. They turned off the leaf blower 40 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: and knew it was time to jump. One, two, three, whoo. 41 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 1: The two of them jumped into the leaf pile and 42 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: then boom, the ground shook. What was that, Frankie said. 43 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: His dad looked around. WHOA, I don't think we jumped 44 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: that big, not big enough to shake the ground. But 45 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 1: I definitely felt that something strange had happened. When they 46 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: jumped into the leaf pile, the ground actually shook. Hold 47 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,959 Speaker 1: on Frankie, let me go call my friend and see 48 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 1: if he knows anything, because that was something's not right. 49 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: Frankie's dad got out of the leaf pile and brushed 50 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 1: off all the leaves and walked inside. Frankie followed close behind. 51 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: He was eager to hear if something really was going on. 52 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: They had barely walked inside when they heard the news 53 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: on the TV talk about a volcano erupting. Holy smokes, 54 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: said his dad. That was a volcano that we just felt. Wait, Dad, 55 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 1: that's not the volcano by Calcal's house, is it, said Frankie. Indeed, 56 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: I think it is, said his dad. Cal Cow or Callen. 57 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: That was Frankie's cousin who lived over by that big mountain. 58 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: That was a really old volcano that hadn't exploded in 59 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: a very long time. Frankie's dad grabbed the phone to 60 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: call them to see if they were safe. Nobody answered 61 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: the phone. Frankie, get in the truck. We gotta go. 62 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: The two of them got in the pickup truck and 63 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: started driving as fast as they could towards cal Cow's house. 64 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: The closer they drove, the more of that volcano smell 65 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: that they could smell, and see. They could see this 66 00:03:54,800 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: smoke pouring out over the mountains, but no lava. Just ugh, 67 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: it smelled really stinky. Ah, Dad, that smells terrible. 68 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 2: But do you think they're okay? 69 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: I'm not sure. That's why we got to get there 70 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: as fast as possible, just to make sure. As their 71 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: truck rounded a corner in the street up ahead, they 72 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: could actually see real lava starting to pour down the 73 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: side of the hill. There was a whole bunch of 74 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: rocks and debris that had spilled out onto the road. Frankie, 75 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: hold on, it's about to get a little bumpy, said 76 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: his dad, whoof As the truck drove over all the 77 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: rocks and debris that had fallen onto the road, Frankie 78 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: and his dad held on tight. 79 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 2: Whoa. 80 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: They finally made it to the other side, and just 81 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: up ahead was Calcow's house. Their family was out on 82 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: the front porch and the lava was in their way. 83 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: They're stuck, Frankie. I'm gonna pull the truck up as 84 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: close as we can, but I'm gonna need you to 85 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: climb over to the back. In the bed of the 86 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: pickup truck. There's a net shooter back there. I'm gonna 87 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: need you to rescue all of them as fast as possible. 88 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: I'll try and keep the truck out of the lava, 89 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: said his dad.

He lined up the net shooter and blasted 96 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: it off towards cal Coal. It caught on to him 97 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: and he was able to pull him into the truck 98 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 1: over the lava safely.
