MT.TAAL ,THE PHILLIPINES,WILL BE MORE PROBLEMATIC ,THAN THE INFO BEING RELEASED PUBLICLY: THE TOTAL ASH CONTENT IN THE AIR NOW WILL HAVE LASTING EFFECTS
THE INCREASE OF ASH IN THE AIR IS BEGINNING TO COME CLOSE TO AFFECTING NOT JUST WEATHER BUT MANY THINGS THAT MODERN MAN HAS COME TO DEPEND ON.1> FARMERS WILL STRUGGLE TO BE ABLE TO GROW FOOD AND NOT JUST IN THE AREAS OF THE VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS BUT FOLLOW THE WIND AS THE ASH MOVES TO COVER OTHER AREAS.
2>FRESH WATER SUPPLIES WILL BECOME CONTAMINATED. (REQUIRED FOR HUMANS AND PLANTS AND ANIMALS)
3> ENGINES WILL BE AFFECTED AS WELL TURBOFAN JET ENGINES FIRST THEN OTHER TYPES OF ENGINES. THIS MEANS THAT CIVILIAN FLIGHT AS WELL AS MILITARY FLIGHTS (INCLUDING CRUISE MISSILES) AND TRUCKS AND SHIPS WILL END UNTIL THE ASH LEVELS GO DOWN
4> ONE EFFECT WHICH IS NOT MUCH DISCUSSED IS THE FACT THAT AS THE ENGINES ARE AFFECTED THE POWER GRID WILL SUFFER BECAUSE OF DEPENDANCE ON ENGINES TO GENERATE THE ELECTRIC POWER
5> ALSO NOT DISCUSSED MUCH IS HOW VOLCANIC ASH IS ALMOST PERFECTLY PROCESSED CEMENT AND WHEN IT GETS WET FROM RAIN IT WILL HARDEN JUST LIKE CONCRETE AND YOU WILL HAVE TO JACKHAMMER IT OFF OF BUILDINGS AND LAND TO BE ABLE TO USE THE BUILDINGS AND LAND AGAIN.
I REALIZE THAT THIS IS JUST ANOTHER CLIFF NOTES TYPE EXPLANATION OF THE STORY BEHIND THE STORIES.
volcano:
Like I said, the entire caldera and lake the Taal volcano sits within might blow. It is not assured yet, but magma movements under the ground have been enough to do this:

I am not too up on the technicalities of impeding mega eruptions, but to my inexperienced eye that appears to be quite an anomaly. The Twtter this came from is HERE and the associated tweet reads:
"Driving around #Taal today it was very noticeable how the displacement and cracks have increased in extent. The photo below was taken 2 days ago, today that warped section had complete collapse"
My comment: If the entire caldera blows, it will be an M7+, bigger than Krakatoa. This picture was not at the volcano itself, it was in the area outside of it's surrounding lake which means the bulge that is doing this is geographically enormous. The bulge is confirmed to be caused by magma movements but does not necessarily mean everything is going to explode. That said, this is a lot worse than anything going on at Yellowstone right now.
for Filipina wife!
