"Of course all volcanoes will explode, as this is going to be a very severe pole shift. What about the months and years preceding the pole shift? It is no secret that Mammoth Lake and the caldera of Yellowstone are warming up, and the populace has been prepared for these occurrences by the movie Volcano where there, in the middle of LA, lava is bubbling up. In fact, there is a fault line running from the approximate San Diego/LA area, up into the Sierras, and this is liable to rupture rather violently during one of the quakes that precedes the pole shift by some months. Volcanic eruptions from that area in the Sierras can be expected. Will Mount St. Helen erupt? All volcanoes that have been active within the memory of man will begin spewing and burping and oozing, and many that were not expected to become active will reactive. "   ZetaTalk - Feb 15, 2000

Powerful Eruptions Continue at Japan's Sakurajima Volcano (Sep 27)
Activity has remained high at Sakurajima with powerful explosions and ash plumes regularly surpassing 10,000 ft altitude.

Explosions from the Showa crater often follow each other at intervals of few hours.

Most explosions are of vulcanian type (strong fragmentation of solid material blocking the vent, generation of tall ash plumes, often with shock waves and explosion sounds) and more rarely strombolian, with mainly incandescent lava ejected in fountains of several hundred meters.

Following most explosions, the volcano usually continues to near-constantly emit ash plumes of various size for several hours.

Nicaragua's Telica Volcano Erupts (Sept 25)

A volcano in Nicaragua erupted on Wednesday. There was a second explosion that was mild and caused only gassing.

Located more than 100 kilometers northwest of Managua,Telica experienced an explosion inside its crater which was classified as "strong," the National System for Prevention, Mitigation and Attention to Disasters (SINAPRED).

"There was a explosion with ash emanation," said executive chairman SINAPRED, Guillermo Gonzalez, government media.

The explosion occurred at 7:50 (1300 GMT) and produced an ash plume about 1-1.5 km high.

The Telica volcano also raised its summit temperature to about 570 degrees Celsius, something abnormal INET authorities said, as the temperature is usually between 220 and 250 degrees Celsius.

Recommendations to citizenship provided the possibility of occurrence of acid rain that could affect 500 to 1,000 meters around. Among the recommendations is to avoid rubbing eyes with hands if you have been in contact with rainwater.

Villagers near the Telica volcano in the northwest of the Central American nation were told to remain on alert and to protect their water and food.

Sinabung Volcano Evacuations Now Over 15,000 (Sept 19)
Up from previous estimates of 6,200, more than 15,000 people have fled their homes since Mt Sinabung erupted on Sept 15 and 18 in western Indonesia when the volcano spewed rocks and red-hot ash onto nearby villages and has been rumbling ever since.

The volcano sent a column of smoke as high as three kilometres (two miles) into the sky on Sept 17, forcing villagers outside the immediate "danger" zone to flee.

"So far, 15,281 people have been evacuated in 16 temporary shelters across Karo district," district administration spokesman Robert Peranginangin told AFP.

He said that some villagers, mostly men, had been returning to their homes by day to feed their cattle and returned to the shelters overnight.

Authorities warned airlines to take care flying in the vicinity of the volcano, while some light aircraft were advised to avoid the area.

The volcano had been dormant for nearly 100 years until it erupted in August and September 2010, forcing about 12,000 people to flee their homes.

Indonesia's Mt. Sinabung Erupts Twice in 3 Days (Sept 18) 

Mount Sinabung erupted again today spewing volcanic ash and thick smoke up to nearly two miles into the air, causing forest fires to ignite on the slopes of the volcano, and forcing villagers returning home to flee the mountain again. The ash and smoke blew eastward to the hilly resort town of Brastagi.

Black smoke could also be seen billowing from two villages, according to an Associated Press photographer on the scene.

The 8,530-feet volcano in North Sumatra province first erupted Sunday after being dormant for three years. It spewed thick ash and small rocks that pelted neighboring villages.

The National Disaster Mitigation Agency said more than 6,200 people were evacuated as of Tuesday afternoon and were being sheltered in eight locations. Most of them were from six villages within nearly 2 miles of the mountain in Karo district.

The volcano's last eruption in August 2010 killed two people and forced 30,000 others to flee. It caught many scientists off guard because the volcano had remained quiet for four centuries.

Thousands Flee as Mt. Sinabung Volcano Pelts Villages with Rocks (Sept 15)

A powerful eruption at Sumatra's Sinabung volcano forced more than 6,000 people to evacuate their homes.  The 2,600-metre (8,530ft) volcano in North Sumatra province erupted early on Sunday after being dormant for three years, sending thick ash into the sky with small rocks pelting nearby villages.

Thousands of residents living in 11 villages in Karo regency, North Sumatra, fled to traditional meeting halls or jambur and houses of worship after Mount Sinabung erupted early on Sunday.

As of 1 p.m. local time on Sept 15, waves of people continued to flock to several jambur and houses of worship. Some were evacuated by local authorities in military and police trucks, while the remainder fled on their own initiative.

On Sept 16, grey smoke still billowed from the peak of North Sumatra's tallest volcano, carrying ash eastwards. The authorities asked residents to remain alert for more potential eruptions.

Residents who live within a radius of 3 km from the volcano are not allowed to go home,

Around 6,000 people were staying in temporary shelters, including the Sempakata and Taras jambur, the Kabanjahe meeting hall, the Kabanjahe Mosque and the Kabanjahe Karo Batak Protestant Church.

Mt. Sinabung last erupted in August 2010, which was its first in 410 years. Thousands of residents fled, while several people died from smoke inhalation.

Peru Declares State of Emergency After 7 Volcanic Eruptions (Sept 12)

Peru declared a state of emergency Thursday in nine districts threatened by the Ubinas volcano, which has erupted seven times since September 1, spewing harmful gas and ash.

Authorities are distributing masks and have given themselves a 60-day period to relocate villagers from areas where ash is damaging crops and polluting water sources.

The explosions have sent a plume of smoke rising to 2,500 meters (1.5 miles) above the crater, according to volcanologists at the Geophysical Institute of Peru.

The first explosion on the night of September 1 was strong and followed by a series of lesser blasts, seismologist Victor Aguilar of the Geophysical Institute of the University of San Agustin de Arequipa told AFP.

The volcano, in the Moquegua department 1,250 kilometers (776 miles) south of Lima, is the most active in the country.

Since 1550, 25 eruptions have been recorded at Ubinas.
