Popocatépetl has become active again and may be on the verge of a catastrophic explosion. A long time ago I spent 6 months in Puebla state, based in Cholula (pictured here). I hope for the best for the people of the area and that there is minimal displacement and disruption. Side note: During the 6 months I was there I actually only saw the volcano twice even though it was right there – it was always shrouded in clouds.
