The Shaking Continues: The Most Dangerous Volcano In Mexico Has Erupted In Spectacular Fashion<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

\"Popocatepetl\"<\/a>More than 25 million people live in the vicinity of Mt. Popocatepetl, including Mexico City\u2019s 18 million residents.\u00a0 At 2:32 local time on Tuesday morning, the most dangerous volcano in Mexico roared to life in spectacular fashion, and this has many experts extremely concerned about what is coming next.\u00a0 Popocatepetl is an Aztec word that means \u201csmoking mountain\u201d, and historians tell us that once upon a time entire Aztec cities were buried in super-heated mud from this volcano.\u00a0 In fact, the super-heated mud flows were so deep that they buried entire Aztec pyramids.\u00a0 A full-blown eruption of Mt. Popocatepetl would be a catastrophe unlike anything that modern Mexico has ever experienced before, and considering what has been happening in\u00a0Ecuador<\/a>,\u00a0Japan<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0at Yellowstone<\/a>\u00a0over the past week, I believe that there is great reason for concern.<\/p>\n

The eruption of Mt. Popocatepetl very early this morning took residents of the area very much by surprise.\u00a0 The following is how\u00a0one Mexican news course reported the news<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

The volcano Popocat\u00e9petl came to life at 2:32 this morning, sending out a column of ash that fell on much of the city of Puebla and closed the airport.<\/p>\n

The National Disaster Prevention Center, Cenapred, said the volcano spewed ash to an altitude of about three kilometers above the crater.<\/p>\n

The explosion was accompanied by the emission of incandescent fragments which were reported to be landing up to 1.6 kilometers away<\/strong>, northeast of the volcano, which is commonly known as El Popo.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But words cannot really describe just how spectacular this eruption was.\u00a0 If you are interested, you can view video footage of the moment when Popocatepetl erupted\u00a0right here<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n
