Strombolian explosion from Fuego this morning
Seismic signal yesterday
Current seismic signal
The volcano observatory reported moderate to strong explosions with plumes up to 1 km height and drifting 12 km, causing ash falls ash on the villages Panimaché, Morelia, Santa Sofia and others. This activity was also accompanied by increased tremor. As of today, it has decreased again, but remains high, and the occurrence of another paroxysm is still a potential scenario.
In this case, strong explosions and associated ash plum rising significantly more than 1-2 km above the summit, lava flows and potentially pyroclastic flows on the southern slopes could be expected.
the course of the day have intensified moderate and loud explosions, spewing columns of ash 4,500 meters moderate. Moving at 12 kilometers west and southwest, depositing fine particles of
These explosions generate moderate to strong rumblings audible more than 20 miles away in nearby villages are felt shock waves that vibrate roofs and windows of houses.
This type of activity that generates moderate sounds, cause alarm among the inhabitants of this area.
Due to this activity the probability of lava flows, and pyroclastic flow generation flow is maintained, by the ravines around the volcano.
