It was a perfect cone and tourists, local and foreigners alike view it from afar. This time though, it spews red-hot lava and thousands of people were forced to flee from the surrounding areas of the volcano.
It used to be like this.
When nature speaks, we should listen.
I trust you will stay safe

I lived through the eruption of Mt. St. Helens in 1980, a volcano that had been dormant so long no one expected the change. It covered everything with ash and tiny rocks. The hardest task was cleaning the gutters of the grit which hardened into a substance like concrete when it rained.

Mayon is an active volcano that is why resident in nearby towns have to observe the radius/distance from it where they could live and plant their crops. We also experienced ash fall here in Metro Manila when Mt. Pinatubo erupted.
