eruption @ Ecuador Tungurahua

Tungurahua volcano (Ecuador) is in full eruption today complete with locally heavy ashfall and pyroclastic flows which, combined with rainfall, generate a potential lahar hazard in drainages surrounding the volcano. The Tungurahua seismogram (station RETU) has been saturated with strong volcanic tremor since early this morning. EPN reports at least two large explosions today which generated ash clouds that rose to above 7 km height.
