Taal Eruption 2020

**Verbl Kint** · January 15th, 2020 04:45 PM

As it stands, PHIVOLCS is saying that we are currently observing symptoms and behavior similar to that of the 1911 Taal eruption. A detailed account of that eruption can be seen on the link below:

Basically, many villages and barangays were wiped out, with many of these having ZERO casualties. This is the reason why PHIVOLCS are advising people not to go back to their homes.

people are naturally attached to their property/material belongings kaya mahirap tanggapin at this time na everything is gone

their homes and things are still there naman... just covered in ash

kaya pa linisin, kaya pa ibalik sa dati

people will only accept everything's gone when it's really gone

so for now since di pa nangyayari ung malaking explosion people have the strong urge to go back to their homes

the gov't is trying to protect people from their urges

mahirap na trabaho yan

gaano katagal?

sabi it can be days to weeks to months

the longer the explosion doesn't happen, the stronger the people's urge to go back to their homes

The LGUs are discouraging civilians wanting to bring relief goods from going near the danger zones. Those who want to help should bring to known centers like the Red Cross or the AFP. Hazardous eruption is imminent as far as they are concerned.

Kagaya ni OB at Kags... sa 100 predictions, may bull's eye na isa.

From the link I posted:

"Death, injuries and damage beginning Talisay, going west: Villages. Dead. Injured: Talisay and barrios: 14, 20; Maliquilong: 0, 20, most houses stood. San Gabriel: 8 5 Bayuyungan: 3, 37, one-third houses stood; Bugaan: 168, 5, No survivors found; village obliterated; Guilot: 100, No survivors found; village obliterated. Bosoboso: 100, Two survivors found who were absent in Taal, village obliterated; Bafiaga: 300 No survivors found, village obliterated; Bilibinang 200, - , four survivors who were absent, village obliterated; Manalao: -,48 Two survivors who were absent; village obliterated; Subig: 50, 38, one-third houses remaining."

The above is from a report submitted on February, 1911 by Col. William C. Rivers, Philippines Constabulary, who was dispatched to the scene of the disaster.

Yes according to not so known history books....Taal used to be a Salt water bodies of water and part of the Balayan Bay. During the Spanish time the Galleon ships used to trade and dock in the Old Lipa and Taal .But upon eruption in 1755 nalubog ang Lipa and ung town ng Taal and was transferred to it's respective current site. Also the gateway to Balayan Bay narrowed up to the size of a river only (Pansipit River). Thereby trapping the sardines and Trevally (Talakitok), thru the time the species evolved to a fresh water type of sardines (Tawilis) and Maliputo. There were also evidences of dead corals in the Lake proving that it was formerly part of Balayan Bay and not a Lake. During the early 1900's meron pa shark and was decimated slowly until the mid 30's.

The fear now is the Pansipit River had Dried up and part of Lemery bay water level had dropped considerably, ( could be signs of rising LAND due to bulging of magma underneath ) kaya worried marami now na baka maulit ang 1755 type of eruptions or the 1911 type of eruptions.

In addition to the previously identified fissures in Lemery (Sinisian, Mahabang Dahilig, Dayapan, Palanas, Sangalang, Poblacion, Mataas na Bayan), Agoncillo (Pansipit, Bilibinwang), Talisay (Poblacion 1, Poblacion 2, Poblacion 3, Poblacion 5) and San Nicolas (Poblacion), new fissures were observed in Sambal Ibaba, Lemery. Drying up of portions of Pansipit River has also been observed. Furthermore, newly acquired satellite images would show that the Main Crater Lake (MCL) has been drained and new vent craters have been formed inside the Main Crater and on the north flank of the volcano.

The Philippine Seismic Network plotted a total of five hundred twenty (520) volcanic earthquakes since 1:00 PM, January 12, 2020. One hundred sixty-nine (169) of these were felt with intensities ranging from Intensity I – V. Since 5:00 AM to 4:00 PM today, there were fifty-three (53) volcanic earthquakes plotted and twelve (12) of which were felt with intensities ranging from Intensity I – III. Such intense seismic activity probably signifies continuous magmatic intrusion beneath the Taal edifice, which may lead to further eruptive activity.

ERUPTION UPDATE FOR TAAL VOLCANO ALERT LEVEL 4 (HAZARDOUS ERUPTION IMMINENT) 15 JANUARY 22 5: PM

This is scary. What will happen if it erupts? Another ashfall? Lava? Lahar? Earthquake?

EDIT according to PHILVOLCS when there is base surge surrounding areas will lose oxygen and people won't be able to outrun it
