Image captured by the monitoring camera located Bayushig area, southwest of the volcano, at 10:50 (local time) of December 4, 2010 Saturday, December 4, 2010 14:30 From 08:30 (local time) today, was a very rapid and sustained increase in seismic activity and surface manifestations of the volcano. Reported increased intensity and duration of the bellows and explosions, increase the flow of emissions and higher content of ash and blocks rolled over 1.5 km on the level of the crater. Emission column heading south and reaches 2 km in height due to wind force. Populations located on the slopes of the volcano reported ground vibration and buildings. The noise produced by the volcano even be heard in the Puyo. At 09h38 (local time) volcano watchers report the presence of pyroclastic flows on the western side. From 09h46 (local time) shows the decline of several pyroclastic flows through the gorge of Vazcún. Received reports of movement of windows in Guadalupe, located 14 kilometers from the volcano, and in Patate. 10:30 (local time) several pyroclastic flows continue to decline for several drainages on the western side of the volcano and are Mandur, Choglontus, La Rea. 11:30 Continue the descent of pyroclastic flows by some of the drainages on the western side of the volcano. Ashfall was reported in Pondoa and Patate Image captured by the camera monitoring of the volcano where you can see the descent of a pyroclastic flow at 10:46 (local time) This increase is unexpected in an open system, ie, was characterized by the constant generation of columns with variable emission of ash content. The authorities have been informed and are taking appropriate action.
