Volcano trouble

It seems like the once-asleep Turrialba volcano is now awake. Costarican scientists from the OVSICORI or Volcanic Institute of Costa Rica have declared that the volcano has become active. This comes after some movement felt from the volcano that shook San Jose, the capital city. The volcano is now on eruption, liberating gases and some minor ash.

Few lava has come out but the scientists say that its only a matter of time until the major eruption. How major it will be? No one knows, but the volcano hasnt erupted in about a couple thousands of years so no one knows what to expect. The volcano, meanwhile, continues on minor eruptions and still provokes some minor movement on a weekly basis.
