OnThisDay in 1991: Mount Pinatubo erupted after being dormant for 600 years, with the disaster being considered as the second largest volcanic eruption of the 20th century. What lessons have we learned from this eruption? FromOurArchives:
MANILA, Philippines – Leonor Pineda, a resident of San Fernando, Pampanga, could still remember the thrill she felt 27 years ago.
At lunchtime, as the situation was getting worse, her boss asked everyone to go home. By the time she reached home at around 1:42 pm she remembered seeing a mushroom-like cloud over Mt Pinatubo.“Mount Pinatubo did not fail to warn communities living near the slopes before its imminent eruption. In April of that same year, Sister Emma returned to Phivolcs to report again about their new observation, this time, of steam explosions in some parts of Mount Pinatubo.
The volcano then started ejecting volcanic materials such as ashes, lava and rocks. Earthquakes and steam explosions were also felt. By 2:30, there was total darkness in nearby cities. Power was also cut.Meanwhile, scientists from Phivolcs and USGS who were there at the vicinity of the volcano thought it was the end of their lives.Tumatakbo sila , away from the volcano kasi hinahabol na sila ng pyroclastic flow .
