Mexico Volcano is acting up

If anyone speaks Spanish,
twitter is going berserk talking about it.
Popocatepet Volcano. (Popo)

In the Video above...
that is not snow, it's volcanic ash.

One description I read said that the ash is so fine
that when you rub it between your fingers you can't feel it.

Hope everyone gets safe.

I don’t have a lot of details right now, but it seems that an explosive eruption has started at Popocatépetl outside of Mexico City. The restless Mexican volcano has been producing steam-and-ash plumes intermittently over the past year, but tonight there is a significant ash plume accompanied by large incadescent blocks being thrown down the slopes of the volcano. All of this is based on webcam images from the 4 cameras pointed at Popocatépetl —

I do hope this does not get any worse.

[edit] woah. that picture shows more than ash. This puppy is hot.

Have some friends of friends in that area.
I hope all is good in the end.

Can't help but wonder while watching the video though...WTF is with all the speed bumps!!!!
I would rather walk somewhere if our main streets were like that.

I am convinced that the Mayan people may have got the 2012 date slightly wrong, because this year we have had bigger Earthquakes, more Volcano's going pop, more fighting around the world, more talk about World War that ever I can remember, the Middle East looks really bad, China & Russia don't trust America, or the other way round either, do you feel safe this year? not many I talk to feel safe, on top of this we have talk of viruses like HN1 or what ever they call it today spreading from people to people, the world magnetic field has all but gone, the sun & other planets have storms and Volcano's on them now, what more can happen?
