Mexico’s mercurial Popocatépetl volcano records 70 emissions in 24 hour period
Posted on October 27, 2012
October 27, 2012 – MEXICO – The
Popocatepetl volcano unleashed about 70 emissions of low to moderate
intensity, several of which were accompanied by ash expulsions reaching a
height of 1.5 to 2 kilometers. A night glow was also observed during
the night and some of the fumes emitted incandescent fragments near the
crater. According to the monitoring system of the National Center for
Disaster Prevention (Cenapred), the Volcanic Alert Level remains at
Yellow Phase 2. It involves the likelihood that present moderate
exhalations, some with ash emissions, sporadic bursts of level low to
moderate probability of emission of incandescent fragments, may occur
within walking distance of the crater. An incandescent light in the
crater of the volcano is also distinctly observable during the night. At
the same time, regional civil defense officials placed special emphasis
on the following recommendations: continue the safety radius of 12 km,
so staying in that area is not permitted, and maintain controlled
traffic between Santiago and San Pedro Nexapa Xalitzintla via Paso de
Cortés. -E-consulta (translated)
