00:00Past 3 o'clock this afternoon, the volcano Calnaon erupted.
00:04That's why the state of the volcano was immediately raised to alert level 3.
00:08A thick black smoke came out from the summit of the volcano
00:12which is 4,000 meters high and there are storms from the volcano
00:17or pyroclastic density currents that came from below the volcano.
00:22Immediately, the local government units around Mount Calnaon were bombarded with explosions
00:28Residents were evacuated within a 6-kilometer danger zone
00:33and were prepared for the possibility of a magmatic eruption.
00:36That's what Floyd Brenz wrote.
00:41Many Negros Islands were shocked by the sudden eruption of the volcano Calnaon
00:46past 3 o'clock this afternoon.
00:49A thick smoke came out from the volcano which is 4,000 meters high
00:56and lasted for 7 minutes.
00:58As of now, the alert level 3 in Calnaon has been raised.
01:02Residents were immediately evacuated within a 6-kilometer danger zone.
01:06The wind direction is on the southern side of Calnaon
01:10where it is possible for a magmatic eruption to occur.
01:13The pyroclastic density currents or PDCs
01:16fell on the southern half of the volcano
01:21based on IP and thermal cameras.
01:24It is remembered that it last erupted in June 2024.
01:37This uploader's worries can be heard.
01:40In a part of this house just near the volcano Calnaon
01:44the thick smoke that was caused by the thick clouds was almost visible.
01:49DOST PHIVOX will raise the alert level of volcano Calnaon
01:53from alert level 2 to alert level 3.
01:56This means that a magmatic eruption has already started
02:01that could lead to an even stronger eruption.
02:04According to PHIVOX DOST Director Teresito Bacolcord
02:09there is a possibility of an expansion of the danger zone.
02:14Again, one of the crucial things here would be the expansion of the danger zone
02:21from 4 kilometers to 6 kilometers.
02:23So we are advising the LGUs to evacuate people
02:28living within the 6-kilometer danger zone.
02:32All local governments are advised to evacuate
02:35from a 6-kilometer radius from the top of the volcano
02:39and to be prepared for additional evacuation if necessary.
02:44Because of the eruption of the volcano
02:47some classes have been suspended in both public and private schools
02:52effective today.
