TIme For A Trip To Mexico?
Nothing like watching a volcano erupt.
A volcano in western Mexico erupted on Sunday, spewing burning rock and raining ash on nearby villages, authorities said. It was the latest in a series of recent eruptions.I am going to have to go looking for volcano emission data. These thing usually put out several multiples of contaminants compared to whole countries. Maybe I could get the consulting job pulling permits for it?
The eruption at the 12,533-foot Colima volcano, located 430 miles northwest of Mexico City, sent a massive column of black ash into the clouds above.
Satellite images suggested the plume of ash extended 2-1/2 to three miles into the sky, according to the Jalisco state Civil Protection Department.
