Semalam, gunung berapi Taal yang terletak di daerah Batangas, Filipina tiba-tiba mengeluarkan debu tebal sekali gus mencetuskan panik.
Debu gunung berapi tersebar sejauh Bandar Quezon di utara Manila menyebabkan 8,000 penduduk terpaksa dipindahkan kerana khuatir gunung berapi itu akan meletus pada bila-bila masa.
Ramalan tersebut ternyata tepat apabila Taal akhirnya memuntahkan lava awal Isnin diikuti dengan petir yang sambar menyambar serta gempa bumi.

Gunung Taal dikenali sebagai gunung berapi terkecil di dunia dan yang kedua teraktif di Filipina. Bukan sahaja ia meletus tanpa amaran malah ia mencecah peringkat ke-4 dalam masa yang singkat.

Walaupun debu gunung berapi tidak toksik, ia mengandungi cebisan-cebisan batu dan kaca volkanik yang ternyata dapat mendatangkan bahaya kepada salur pernafasan manusia.
volcanic ash under a microscope. The force of the gasses shatters the magma and propels it into the atmosphere where it solidifies into fragments of volcanic rock and glass.. Imagine inhaling shattered glass. Keep safe. #TaalEruption2020 #TaalVolcano #PrayForPhilippines pic.twitter.com/tkguVJsi5i
