It was an ordinary day which tended to close extra-ordinarily.
While I was preparing for my nightly reading, I came across a question in one of my work group chats asking a colleague how she was doing. I was completely clueless. My...Kanlaon spewed a 5km high plume at 6:51 followed by a fiery cough.
The realization was slow to come that by the time I thought of filling water containers, it was too late already. I only managed to fill one.
It's 10:15 PM now and the pungent smell of sulfur permeates the night air. The southern skies rumbles with impending rain which may arrest the flight of ash in our direction.
Mask in place, the vigil continues on.
