Taal Eruption 2020

[dr. d]

Logical ba isipin na mas ok yung pumutok ang Mayon last time then ngayon Taal naman.. nakahinga yung lupa sa Pinas.. At sana di na magkaroon ng The Big One na earthquake.

yes and no.
i think, the magma supply of either volcano may be independent of each other.

the experts would rather have multiple smaller eruptions of a volcano, so's they don't build up too much pressure for the big one.
the last two "recent" pinatubo eruptions were in 1450 and in 1991 (google, natch!). it had 500 years to build up its magma for the 1991 big one. experts say the 1991 was the second biggest eruption in the planet, in the 20th century.

same logic with earthquakes.

Wala pa akong muwang nung sa Pinatubo.. Pero slight naaalala ko sya.. Wala pa kami colored tv nun, gamit pa namin yung tv na may cabinet.. Tapos umulan pa nun kaya nagtanggal ng bara sa mga gutter at canal ang mga tao dahil barado..

Bataan nuclear power plant was built near mount pinatubo..looking back I'm wondering had it been operated what kind of damage it would have sustained then?

Some american wearhouse that housed their jet fighters collapsed in clark..smartly they have evacuated all air assets out

Only mount pinatubo had kicked the Americans out voluntarily

That's the scale of eruption of mount pinatubo then and yesterday's taal eruption pales in comparison

Wala kasi socmed nun now a quick search on the internet shows warnings on effects of volcanic ash on health. Kung kotse nga at bubong concerned tayo why not sa sarili nating katawan. Also, it was the government agency and media (quoting govt agencies) who sent the advisories. Mas maigi lang informed kesa nung nangyari nung Yolanda na hindi alam ng common pinoy ang ibig sabihin ng storm surge. That said wag din abusuhin sa pagpapakalat ng fake info at pananakot.

I don't know about you guys, but this eruption seemed to have taken everyone (including the gov't) by surprise?

Ako nalaman ko lang tumawag brother ko at sinabi nagerupt ang Taal kahapon ng mga 4pm++ na yun.

Yung Pinatubo, may early warning.

Etong Taal, parang wala talaga.

Guys, don't get me wrong. OK naman to take reasonable precautions (wear a dust mask) if allergic ka, etc. but for this to trigger a panic buying of masks? I'd say save those pharmacy stocks for those who really need them (the infirm [like mga may COPD], elderly, undergoing chemo, etc.). The rest of us can get by with non N95 rated masks.

Well, yes there's the possibility of pneumoco... (ok I'll skip the "doctor speak" and just say "health risk") but that cr*p you're exposed to sa EDSA and other roads daily? That's much much worse than this (relatively) short exposure. And don't think that your airconditioned car & cabin filters make this some commuters' problem lang... reduced lang ang risk.

Yes, wear a mask if you need to. Limit time outdoors, but there's no need to be unduly alarmed. Yun lang naman.
