Mexico Deploys 1000s Of Troops As Popocatépetl Volcano Rumbles,
Millions Warned Of Possible Evacuation
Popocatepetl volcano has been blanketing towns with ash
and disrupting flights at Mexico City's airport this week.
Authorities are preparing for the possible evacuation of
millions of people as thousands of troops were deployed
to the region, according to NPR News.
On Tuesday, Mexico raised the alert level of Popocatepetl
to "yellow phase three" from "yellow phase two," one notch
below the top "red" level. About 25 million people are
living within 60 miles of the 17,797-foot volcano.
. . .
This is a very large and active volcano - and it overlooks
Mexico City - often listed as the largest city in the world.
The volcanic activity has been escalating over the past decade
in stages. At SOME point .... well ... Pompeii-II .....
Then the gangs really WILL own the whole country. Such a
disruption is all they need.
