More activity seen at the Colima Volcano
Watch out for falling rocks, particularly if they're hot, warns Civil Protection
The Colima Volcano continues to be active, sending a 1,500-meter column of smoke skyward at 7:08 this morning.
Civil Protection’s national coordinator, Luis Felipe Puente Espinosa, reported the eruption on his Twitter account, advising that the smoke, with a low ash content, was moving southwest.

material can cause damage and injuries in populated areas, particularly
if they are hot, which can result in fires.
