'Hazardous' Taal Volcano eruption possible 'within hours to days'

(3rd UPDATE) Phivolcs raises Alert Level 4 for the Taal Volcano in Batangas on Sunday evening, January 12, warning that a 'hazardous' eruption is 'imminent'.

State volcanologists raised Alert Level 4 for the Taal Volcano in Batangas on Sunday evening, January 12, warning that a "hazardous" eruption may occur "within hours to days."

In a bulletin issued 7:30 pm on Sunday, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said Alert Level 4 means a "hazardous" eruption is "imminent."

"As of 5:30 pm, eruptive activity at Taal Volcano main crater intensified as continuous eruption generated a tall 10-15 kilometer steam-laden tephra column with frequent volcanic lightning that rained wet ashfall on the general north as far as Quezon City," Phivolcs said.

"Volcanic tremor [has been] recorded continuously since 11 am and two volcanic earthquakes of magnitudes 2.5 and 3.9 were felt at Intensity III in Tagaytay City and Alitagtag, Batangas...recorded at 6:15 and 6:22 pm, respectively," added the agency.

RIP in peace to the Philippinians.
 
Saw that volcano when I went to the Philippines, there was a McDonald’s with a good view.
 
Cars here in Manila currently look like this due to ashfall

Must be really scary to live beside a Volcano and knowing it may erupt sometime soon or in the future. It's like living beside a nuclear bomb and just waiting for it to explode.

I guess you don't care until it starts happening.

Get well soon Phillip Peens
 
I was in Tagaytay 5 years ago. I visited a really pretty area. Ate at a restaurant with a view down on a huge mountain lake. Hope the quakes and ash don’t cause too much damage.
 
This one looks like Mufasa.
