(Eagle News) — An alert level 3 remains over Taal with the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology still monitoring “high activity.” PHIVOLCS said in 24 hours, it monitored 28 earthquakes and one “explosion-type” with low background tremor at the volcano. A steam plume reaching as high as 3,000 meters was also observed. PHIVOLCS said this was caused by the “upwelling of hot volcanic gas.” PHIVOLCS earlier recommended the evacuation of residents from “high-risk” areas […]
Two more phreatomagmatic eruptions occur Thursday evening after initial eruption at 3:16 p.m. (Eagle News) — The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) warns of “succeeding eruptions” in Taal Volcano as it noted that there is already magmatic intrusion in the volcano that caused the “phreatomagmatic eruption” on Thursday afternoon, July 1, in its main crater. PHIVOLCS strongly pushed for the “complete evacuation” of residents in the Taal Volcano Island and high-risk barangays […]
(Eagle News) — Taal volcano is now under alert level 3 after a “short-lived dark phreatomagmatic plume” rose one kilometer high on Thursday, July 1.
