Gator Posted June 3 Posted June 3 (edited) Wife said she heard it erupt and she’s over 150km away! CEBU CITY, Philippines – State seismologists have issued Alert Level 1 over Mount Kanlaon as the volcano erupted and spewed kilometers-high plume into the night sky on Monday, June 3.

JJReyes Posted June 3 Posted June 3 Philippines has regular volcanic eruptions, typhoons and earthquakes. I take comfort in knowing that there are no snowstorms. We must look at the positive side. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrettGC Posted June 3 Posted June 3 I live about 40km as the crow flies from this, and honestly didn't hear a thing. I only knew about it as the weather Youtuber I watch reported on it at about 9pm. As the linked video states no ash in in our direction (we're on the east side of the island) and it was overcast last night so didn't even get to see the light show. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BrettGC Posted June 3 Popular Post Posted June 3 And just a plug for the Westpacwx Youtube channel. Robert Speta is an ex-USN meteorologist so gives the weather as a report and not a sensationalised news story. No, it's not as dry as he would've reported to command back in his navy days but it's all based on information at hand and not speculation. As the channel name implies his focus is on the Western Pacific - Guam, up to Japan, across to Taiwan and down to The Philippines and the areas surrounding that may impact conditions in the region. Plugging him should be okay on here I'm hoping as I'm not promoting anything I'm personally affiliated with and he gives good information. 6 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
