    hurling incandescent rock about 1.5 miles down its slopes and sending ash into the night sky near the nation’s capital.

    The explosion, one of the volcano’s largest eruptions in years, was heard from nearby communities and was loud enough to shake doors and windows of houses in the city of Puebla, according to local media.

Mt. Popocatepetl has been increasingly active in recent months, and authorities are concerned that all of this activity could be leading up to something really big.

In fact, it is being reported that they are “currently preparing for the worst case scenarios”…

    Local authorities are currently preparing for the worst case scenarios and haven’t ruled out more eruptions in the near future.

    In preparations, they have drafted a special operational plan allowing for quick evacuation of locals in case of any future emergencies.

    Popocatepetl exploded earlier this week but had remained calm over the past several days as it only emitted water vapour, gas and a small amount of ash.

I hope the Mexican authorities can adequately plan and more importantly - fund any evacuation needed.

A lot of us have been watching Mt. Popocatepetl for a very long time.  Could it be possible that we are now on the verge of the most destructive volcanic eruption in the modern history of North America?  On Monday night at precisely 9:38 PM, a massive explosion at Mt. Popocatepetl sent a column of volcanic ash nearly a mile into the sky.  A “yellow alert warning” has been issued by the authorities, and they are ordering everyone to stay at least 12 kilometers away from the crater.  They are stressing that the threat has not passed, and as you will see below, an evacuation plan is in place in case an even larger eruption follows.  And if a much larger eruption does follow, the devastation could be off the charts.  Mexico City is only 43 miles away from Mt. Popocatepetl, and approximately 25 million people live within a 60 mile radius of the crater.

Could be one heck of a show.    Thinking I'll watch from here.

We really need to get AOC's green plan into a effect now!

As an alternative, lets donate her to Mexico to throw into the volcano to appease the volcano gods.

It worked for the Hawaiians for 1000 years or so.  While they apparently preferred virgins, there's no reason to get technical about it.

That sounds like a good plan! Didn't the Aztecs do that too?

Would two be better?  AOC and Pelosi?   Wait, that could make it worse.   I can just see that volcano puking....

Lot of good it did them.

If I were the god of a volcano and you threw in AOC & Pelosi, I'd show you what Krakatoa looked like
