Falling ash from ongoing activity at the Colima Volcano has resulted in the evacuation of 670 people from communities in the states of Colima and Jalisco and a declaration of emergency in five municipalities, says National Civil Protection.
The volcano began erupting Thursday, spouting plumes of ash and incandescent material and discharging pyroclastic flows down the slopes of the mountain. On the weekend those flows were traveling as far as 10 kilometers from the crater.
Officials are saying that eruptions of this kind and intensity haven’t been seen since a major eruption in 1913, according to Associated Press. And some were reported saying that a repeat of that eruption is not out of the question.
