A threat to communities in El Salvador...
There has been increased activity by the volcano Ilamatepeq in El Salvador recently and potentially pauses a threat to communities in the area. El Salvador Officials said Tuesday they are stepping up emergency preparations after a study by experts indicated that the rumbling Ilamatepec volcano is likely to erupt soon. The 7,812-foot peak, also known as the Santa Ana Volcano, sent out clouds of gas and vapor and apparently spat out some glowing rocks. By searching more on this I also found that fresh magma has been detected entering the volcano's chambers 4 to 5 miles beneath the surface. The volcano last two times it erupted in 1920 and in 1904.
