It also recommended that residents nearby avoid outside. Milenio TV reported the state capital of Puebla was blanketed in ash for the first time in a decade. Its airport was shuttered over the weekend. "We are in a phase of alert, not alarm," Puebla's governor Sergio Salomon tweeted in a video message on Monday. He said residents near the volcano should be prepared to evacuate. About 25 million people live within a 60-mile radius of the volcano. "In the case of Mexico City, the risk is ash fall. We are prepared for that scenario and we know what to do. Let's stay alert," Mexico City's mayor Claudia Sheinbaum tweeted. The US Embassy has issued an advisory, warning people not to travel within a 7.5-mile radius of the volcano. It also noted, "Air travelers may continue to experience additional flight delays, cancellations, or temporary airport closures with little or no warning." Popocatepetl has been dormant for nearly three decades since it erupted in 1994. The earthquake swarms around the volcano could suggest magma flows are rising and an eruption is imminent. Poster Comment: Mexico City is at 7,000 feet. There is a lot less oxygen at that level. Air pollution is horrible. A Volcano would kill million, destroy the economy and send millions fleeing across the border. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
