BOGOTA, Colombia – Experts say a volcano responsible for causing one of the largest disasters in the Western Hemisphere is showing signs of increased activity, which has forced the Colombian government to issue evacuations in the potential impact zone.
The Nevado del Ruiz volcano sits about 80 miles west of Bogotá, and according to Colombia’s Geological Survey, an earthquake swarm has increased to levels not seen since a disastrous eruption in the 1980s killed at least 25,000 people.
Authorities have raised the alert level to orange – the second-highest on a four-stage scale.
A recent update posted by the Global Volcanism Program said on March 30 some 11,600 earthquakes were detected, and the movement of underground fluid was likely responsible for increased ash emissions.

What do Vulcanologists know about such things?
Mount St. Helens was supposed to be erupting soon, too.
I meant “Volcanologists”. I just can’t keep up with these specialty-names!
Volcanoes are carbon credits, now how can I sell them?
I thought “Vulcanologists” were Star Trek Dr. Spock experts.
The deadliest volcano in the Western Hemisphere is Yellowstone. Be glad its eruptions only happen on a timescale of hundreds of thousands of years.
Yeah... but we're a few dozen eons overdue for one.
I read last month around 80 volcanoes erupt around the world every year along with 70,000 wild fires. Seventy THOUSAND. But it’s man causing climate change you see. It’s gas stoves and cars with their catalytic converters and trucks with DEF systems.
Thought of that immediately when I saw the headline.
Dr. Benjamin Spock is not the same as Mr. Spock of Star Trek.
Steely Dan once predicted that California would eventually tumble into the sea. I’m still waiting.
“ Deadliest volcano in Western Hemisphere shows signs of increased activity.”

It blew just a few weeks ago, but it is in the Eastern Hemisphere.

And by the way, it is closed to tourism.
Hmmm... I thought the volcano under Yellowstone National Park was the “Deadliest volcano in Western Hemisphere.”
Wherever I go I hope there’s Rum!
We continue to run all over the world fighting and dying in costly deep state contrived wars, yet we spend little on hardening our electrical grid, or predicting mega earthquakes, asteroids, or volcanic eruptions all of which could change or destroy life as we know it.
Look again at MT Shasta

Okay.
Will this suffice?
I think Yellowstone is technically a ‘caldera’ ... don’t quote me on that though :-) ... but I think it’s merely semantics.
Doesn’t cauldra really mean big f@#$%^& volcano?
