Popocatepetl volcano launches ashes and sand over nearby town

Mexico City, Oct 16 (Prensa Latina) The Popocatepetl volcano threw ashes and sand over the town of San Pedro, one of the communities of Ameameca closest to the volcano.

The neighbors affirmed that the Popo, as it is called by Mexicans, threw abundant ash, but this time the material that fell was thicker than usual. It was like sand that fell and not the usual ash, they said.

Yesterday it also did the same, although most of the ashes fell in Nexapa where the streets, car bodies, roofs and yards of the houses were covered with ash coming from the volcano.

In the main square of the town the activities were carried out without any setback, only with the presence of ash that some neighbors swept away.

Yesterday we heard a loud rumble, we went out to the street and then we felt the ash on our faces. The ash fall was abundant and you can see it on the ground where there is still ash, Sofia Martinez, one of the neighbors of the community, said.
