Taal Eruption 2020

[dr. d]

those fissures,
it seems, lots of magma is collecting underground, causing the ground surface to swell..

[leonleon]

me saying this is nothing compared to pinatubo is talking too early

pag nangyari ito it's gonna be serious

Kaya nga nakakatakot ito, bro.

Everyone should take it seriously, and huwag bale-walain.

Mas malapit ito kaysa sa Pinatubo.

And hard as it is to do, stay calm pa rin.

because we still have no way of looking at what's actually happening below where the magma is. all we can do is observe signs and events and make intelligent guesses/predictions based on scientific and historical data.

With the right and adequate ground monitoring instrument Philviocs can model what exactly the magma is doing. They have the tools to predict an eruption, but it appears the Taal monitoring team did not process their data fast enough that day , maybe because its a Sunday , too drunk the night before?

Earthquakes on the other hand, is a b*$ch.

Noong panahon kasi ng Pinatubo, tinulungan tayo ng mga Kano na nasa base militar.

They provided manpower and equipment to help Phiovolcs.

Ngayon, we are on our own, ika nga, with our limited resources and equipment.

Calling our friend "China". ehem.

Remember this great man? The younger generation may not know him, but this man is a hero. He saved millions of people from certain death when back in 1991, he and his team accurately predicted that Mt Pinatubo is going to erupt. Because of his insistence of a mandatory evacuation, the biggest volcanic eruption of the 20th century only killed a few hundred people when it could have wiped out the whole population of Central Luzon.

His name is Dr Ray Punongbayan. Don't ever forget it.

Ronjay Mosquete And the only man who said that the vicinity of Taal should never be habitable. And it turns out right after how many years of his death. Kudos!

Jomar Morales Gumboc nakumbinsi nia ang US military na iwan ang Clark Air Base
the balls of this man, kudos!

Roy A MaCaras katrabaho niya tyuhin ko si Dindo Javier sabay silang namatay sa chopper crash sa Nueva Ecija.

Odracir Airomat He dated my aunt when i was a kid hahaha

[leonleon]

Eto pa isa nakakainis sa FB at iba pang SOCMED.

Dami fake news.

Gaya nung ni-raise na raw to Alert 5 ng Phivolcs ang Taal situation.

Dapat talaga salain ang balita, kundi magiging psycho ka.

I don't know. The Americans didn't predict it either.

how can i forget!
he gave me a high grade in geo 11.

Nasa gas station ako.

Sabi ng gas boy kakainin daw ni Psycho yung volcanic ash?

Totoo?

Not only that. Iihian pa daw niya yung Taal. To put it out (???) or to prove he's still in good health? Ewan

10 weeks before the eruption:

Monitoring: 10 weeks before the eruption

At Pinatubo, the volcanic unrest began April 2, 1991, with a series of small steam explosions. In Manila, Dr. Raymundo Punongbayan, Director of PHIVOLCS, dispatched a team to investigate a fissure that opened on the north side of the volcano and was emitting steam and sulfur fumes. PHIVOLCS set up a seismograph and began monitoring earthquakes. Dr. Punongbayan also called his friend, Dr. Chris Newhall, at the USGS. The two scientists began working on how to get the USGS-USAID Volcano Disaster Assistance Program team to the Philippines to help monitor Pinatubo.

Three weeks later, Newhall, along with VDAP volcanologists Andy Lockhart, John Power, John Ewert, Rick Hoblitt and Dave Harlow, began unpacking 35 trunks of gear at temporary quarters on Clark Air Base. The seismic drum room was a maze of wires and cables; the daily drum roll of seismicity posted on the walls. Instrumentation was drawn principally from a permanent supply of specialized equipment kept ready for volcano crises under the auspices of the USGS Volcano Hazards Program and the joint USGS-USAID VDAP. They nicknamed the place PVO—the Pinatubo Volcano Observatory.

Hindi pala fake news.

Natawa lang ako at yung gas boy.
