"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
Ash blots out the sun in the village of Inlagadian in Casiguran town, Sorsogon province, following ashfall from Mt.
Bulusan on Oct. 21. —MARC ALVIC ESPLANA/Philippine Daily Inquirer
BULUSAN, Sorsogon—Thrice during the past week, Mount Bulusan in Sorsogon belched out gray ash plumes in a series of minor phreatic (steam-driven) eruptions that sent ash raining over villages in the towns of Bulusan, Casiguran and Irosin, threatening crops and endangering the health of some residents.
Antonio Banares, 64, a resident of Barangay Central in Bulusan town near the slope of the volcano said he thought the ash falling from the sky last week was just drizzle.
“I became aware that it was ash and that the volcano had a (minor phreatic) eruption. I saw the ash thicken and I thought, this is bad, especially for my heart condition,” he said.
Banares and other residents in 11 barangays in Bulusan had been suffering from the effects of phreatic eruptions on Oct. 17, 19 and 21. The Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (MDRRMC) of Bulusan said the villages of Dancalan,
Madlawon, Poctol, Sapngan, Dapdap, Looban, Central, Sabang, Mabuhay, San Rafael and San Bernardo bore the brunt of
the ashfall which dumped up to half a millimeter thick of ash.
Fumes coming from the volcano drifted to the villages of San Jose and San Francisco.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) also found small traces of ashfall in the upland barangays
of San Rafael and Sabang in Irosin town during the Oct. 19 eruptions
In Casiguran town, Luisito Mendoza, the town’s MDRRMC officer, said at least 350 houses were covered by ash in
Barangay Inlagadian from the Oct. 21 eruption.
At least 10 residents were treated for vomiting and stomach ache, said Mendoza. Masks were also distributed to residents. He said “if the situation gets worse,” officials would order preemptive evacuation.
Nerma Ricero, principal of Inlagadian Elementary School, canceled classes Friday after 310 students reported difficulty in
concentrating on their lessons. Bulusan Mayor Mike Guysayko also ordered classes suspended in eight elementary and
secondary schools.
Farmer Salvador Hajas, 33, said the continued eruption of Bulusan volcano is destroying crops. “Our produce are affected.
They get rotten due to ash,” he said.
Renard Fullon Garados, MDRMMC officer in Bulusan town, said officials are conducting an inventory of households that
The Nevado Del Ruiz Volcano, located about 80 miles west of Colombian capital Bogota, sent plumes of ash and gas into the air this last weekend, putting locals on alert.
The eruption is the latest of two weeks of activity, according to news source KRIS TV, which reported that emissions shot as high as 23,000 feet.
Officials from the Red Cross announced caution, commenting that those in the area need to be prepared in case the activity presents any danger.
As we have previously reported, the notorious volcano’s most recent activity were two consecutive eruptions in May, one with emissions reaching over 4,000 feet above the the peak, another over 7,500 feet.
While that last explosion resulted in the closure of two airports, there has not yet been any details of transport issues yet linked with last weekend’s activity.
The volcanic activity was also linked to a sizeable earthquake, according to El Espectador. The 3.1 magnitude tremor hit Sunday afternoon and was felt throughout Caldas to Manizales.
"The Nevado del Ruiz volcano continues to evolve and it is possible that new events that may indicate an acceleration of the process are presented, involving greater instability thereof and consequently changes in your activity level," commented the Colombian Geological Service.
AndNowUKnow will continue to track this and other natural occurrences that could affect the produce industry.

TOKYO - Mount Aso in southern Japan sent huge plumes of gray smoke as high as 11 kilometers (6.8 miles) into the air on Saturday in one of the volcano's biggest explosions in years.

The Japan Meteorological Agency said the explosion in the early hours of Saturday also blew off bits of volcanic rock and ash and raised the alert level for the area, extending the entry ban from just around the volcanic mouth to the mountain itself.
Footage on Japan's NHK public television showed orange flames flickering from several locations on the mountaintop as the volcano emitted thick gray smoke billowing into the sky.
There are no homes within the off-limit area and no injuries or major damage have been reported in nearby towns, though buildings and cars were covered with thick ash falls. Flights were largely unaffected, except for some delays.
A window at a youth center just a few kilometers (miles) away from the mountain suffered a crack apparently from volcanic rocks.
Masaaki Yamamoto, a manager at the center, told NHK that he heard small volcanic rocks hitting the exterior of the building, and found a crack in the window along with chunks of volcanic debris about the size of a golf ball near it.
Aso city, about 10 kilometers (6 miles) north of the volcano, set up evacuation centers as a precaution. Residents were washing off ash from external walls, plants and the streets before it dries up and spreads farther. Media reports said some ash falls were detected in parts of western Japan.
The area is still recovering from deadly earthquakes in April.
Mount Aso has repeated smaller eruptions in recent years. The agency said it was not known if the volano's recent activity was related to the earthquakes earlier this year, but it's in an unstable condition and could erupt again.
Japan sits atop the Pacific "ring of fire" and has more than 100 volcanoes.
Mount Aso had a smaller eruption in August while eruptions in 2014 disrupted tourism in the area.
Violent Eruption at Mexico's Colima Volcano Forces Evacuations (Sep 30)
Streams of lava and large plumes of ash emitted in a dramatic volcanic eruption has forced residents in the state of Colima, Mexico to leave their homes.
Over 300 people were ordered to evacuate villages in the foothills of Volcan de Fuego, the 3,839-meter mountain which towers over the states of Jalisco and Colima.
Late Friday, Colima State Governor Jose Ignacio Peralta ordered people to evacuate from the nearby villages of La Becerrera and La Yerbabuena because of lava and noxious gases being emitted by the volcano.
Members of the National Civil Protection, Mexico’s Army and the State Civil Protection Unit have been deployed to transport residents to emergency hostels away from the danger.
People are also being warned to stay away from rivers and ravines close to the volcano, for fear the lava could take a path of least resistance and rush downhill.
Costa Rica's Turrialba Volcano Spews Ash for 5th Consecutive Day (Sep 30)
Turrialba Volcano continued spewing ash and gases on Thursday in one of its longest eruptive events this year.
The ash spewing at Turrialba, located some 50 kilometers (30 miles) northeast of the capital San José in Cartago province, began shortly after noon on Monday. Ash and vapor formed a column that varies in height from 500 meters to 2,000 meters (1,640 feet to 6,560 feet) above the crater, RSN reported.
Eruptions at Turrialba last week caused the Juan Santamaría International Airport in Alajuela, outside of San José, to close for nearly 24 hours. The airport has remained open this week although some flights were delayed Thursday morning.
The National Meteorological Institute reported that wind is currently carrying ash mainly towards the northern areas of the Central Valley.
On Thursday, RSN received reports on its social media profiles of persistent ashfall in communities in the northern parts of Cartago, San José, Heredia and Alajuela provinces.
The National University’s Volcanological and Seismological Observatory of Costa Rica (OVSICORI) also noted that some people are reporting ashfall in various areas of the Caribbean province of Limón, mostly in Guápiles.
In addition to ashfall, people said they smelled sulfur in the air north and east of the capital, in Coronado, Moravia, Tibás, Zapote, Curridabat and Montes de Oca, and also in Cartago and Heredia provinces.
Multiple Eruptions at Guatemala's Fuego Volcano (Sep 27)
A series of eruptions at Guatemala's Fuego volcano spewed lava and sent ash raining down near the capital.
The volcano is maintaining "moderate to heavy explosions," according to the National Institute of Seismology, Volcanology, Meteorology and Hydrology.
The eruptions have sent an ash column up into the sky, reaching about 5,000 meters (16,400 feet) above sea level. The column is moving more than 20 kilometers (12 miles) westwards and southwest.
The rumbling 3,763-meter-high volcano is located 45 kilometers southwest of the capital Guatemala City. The incandescent lava at the top of the crater is feeding two rivers of lava.
The falling ash is affecting a number of communities, especially the town of Yepocapa, near the volcano.
The institute recommended that aviation authorities take precautions with air-traffic control.
Indonesian Volcano Erupts, Flight Cancellations Strand Hundreds (Sep 27)
Volcanic activity has once again stopped travellers in their tracks with Jetstar, Virgin and Tigerair cancelling a string of flights between Australia and Bali during the busy school holiday period.
Mount Barujari, a sub-volcano of Mount Rinjani in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), erupted at around 2:45 p.m. local time on Tuesday, spewing volcanic ash around 2,000 meters into the sky.
Hundreds of passengers of the three air carriers, which fly between Bali and the Australian cities of Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Sydney, were stranded at the Denpassar Airport.
Mt Barujari’s volcanic ash drifted to southwestern areas, including North Lombok and Mataram.
