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.
