MEXICO – Residents of the Puebla Valley are being dusted with ash, thanks to Mexico’s most lively volcano, Popocatépetl. The infamous mount erupted twice over the weekend.

Rumbling to life once more, Popocatépetl emitted hundreds of short and low-intensity bursts of gas and smoke since Friday night. According to Science Times, the volcano has yet to emit any lava.

Mexico’s National Center for Disaster Prevention reported that the volcano first lit up and colored the sky with a brilliant orange color, intensifying each time the volcano let smoke loose from its belly. As we previously reported, the last time Popocatépetl unleashed its ashy gifts on the region was late last year.

Located around 80 miles east of Mexico City, surrounding regions to the volcano are under “yellow alert” as authorities advise citizens to protect themselves and their food from falling ashes. Authorities stated that the volcano is still erupting, though it may not be able to seen at this point by the naked eye.

Will Popocatépetl continue to spew ash, or is there more in store? AndNowUKnow continue to report as authorities keep a wary eye on the volcano.
