El Popo moves closer to Popping

[SorellaLaBefana]

The alert level for the Popocatépetl volcano — which has registered several explosions and hundreds of exhalations of water vapor, gases and ash in recent days — was lifted to yellow Phase 3 on Sunday.

National Civil Protection chief Laura Velázquez Alzúa told a press conference that the alert level for El Popo — as the volcano located approximately 90 kilometers southeast of Mexico City is colloquially known — was raised from yellow Phase 2 on the advice of the Scientific Advisory Committee of the National Civil Protection System...

Velázquez said that the yellow phase 3 alert — one notch below red Phase 1 — indicated low to intermediate “explosive eruptive activity,” low to moderate ashfall, “significant” growth of lava domes and the possibility of magma expulsions...

Activity at El Popo, which is also known as “Don Goyo,” resumed in late 1994 after a 56-year hiatus. Major eruptions in December 2000 led to the evacuation of over 40,000 people who lived in the vicinity of the volcano.

Popocatepétl, which means “smoking mountain” in Náhuatl, is Mexico’s second highest volcano at about 5,450 meters (Pico de Orizaba is the highest). It is the country’s most active volcano and one of the most active in the world, with frequent explosions and exhalations recorded since activity resumed almost 29 years ago.

Review of the most recent updates I could find (a couple from yesterday) shows that the above conditions remain and that people are still on the verge of having to evacuate.

2. Could a major eruption could trigger a tsunami across the Gulf of Mexico?

DeSantis could stand at the shore to stop it pretending to be Moses.

3. I think Popo is blowing,

a big blowout, right now.

This camera is having a hard time handling whatever is happening up there.
