Another change is that at the central part of the crater there are fumaroles that used to be on the bottom, making the degassing even more remarkable.
This Friday the cameras became active at 1 pm and showed that there was an eruption. It lasted until 7 pm with the emission of ash, water vapor and white gases. The ash column reached 1,000 meters high.
It was expected that the volcanic material would be moved westward, falling in the Central Valley and highlands of Guanacaste.
Incredible time-lapse footage of the twister was uploaded to YouTube by user Vance Neudorf.

"It started to rain, a little bit, and then I said 'oh, that looks like a funnel cloud.'" she said. "It looked like it was drawing the dust up." Watching from her home on the east outskirts of town, she said the tornado seemed to bypass her house before continuing on east.
