Mexico's Popocatepetl Volcano continues to blow ash and smoke, but officials are still watching and waiting to see if a threat of a greater eruption will materialize. The 28,000 people who live near the volcano are under no immediate order to evacuate, reported Fox News.

The volcano has been actively clearing its throat for 10 days spewing emission of water vapor, gas, ashes and glowing rocks in a series of explosions that reach about one kilometer (0.6 miles) beyond its crater.

Seismic activity decreased slightly on Sunday, according to Mexican News reports.
