The Ubinas volcano erupted this morning at 4:24 a.m.
Nearly on the anniversary of the evacuation of
28 thousand camelids from its pastures, the Ubinas volcano erupts once again.
The Ubinas volcano of the Moquegua region erupted this morning at 4:24 a.m. causing a layer of ash to fall over nearby villages minutes later, according to
Perú21.
On March 31, 2014, the
volcano's eruption caused Querapi residents to be evacuated as it sits just five kilometers from the volcano. Days later on April 21, Peru ordered the evacuation of the camelid animals, as the volcano posed a threat following further activity.
Today the Ubinas volcano erupted after about four months of calm. The National Service of Meteorology and Hydrology of Peru (SENAMHI) calculated that the 2.5 km column of ash above the crater could reach more than 15 kilometers to the southeast.
Escacha and Ubinas Valley therefore will be receiving a layer of ash on their homes, cars, sidewalks, and buidlings today following the eruption.
Scientific institutions advise that the local populations protect themselves with masks and goggles and to protect water resources and food to prevent contamination.
Comment: Sinkholes may break water lines, but most are not actually caused by them. Many are more likely caused by the slowing down of the earth due to the increase of electrically charged cometary dust surrounding the planet, and the decrease in solar activity. This leads to the planet literally "opening up" as it becomes ever slightly deformed. For more info, check out the book Earth Changes and the Human-Cosmic Connection:
