Turrialba
Volcano
Still
Active
and
Keeping
Neighbours
On
Edge
The
fear
of
an
enormous
eruption
fills
the
neighours
of
the
Turrialba
Volcano,
located
southwest
of
Cartago
and
a
stone's
through
(volcano
wise)
from
San
José,
as
the
colossus
continues
to
emit
ash
and
sometimes
with
greater
force
as
it
did
earlier
this
week,
spewing
stones
and
gases.
Experts
of
the
Red
Sismológica
Nacional
(RSN)
and
the
Observatorio
Vulcanológico
y
Sismológico
(OVSICORI)
assure
area
residents
that
the
volcano
has
calmed
down
since
and
there
is
no
cause
for
further
alarm.
However,
on
Thursday
afternoon
a
new
emission
of
ash
from
the
new
gap
formed
last
week
as
noted,
accompanied
by a
slight
seismic
activity.
Experts
remind
that
this
is
normal
for
an
"active"
volcano
and
the
residents
of
the
areas
of
Turrialba,
Alvarado
and
Jimenex
should
not
be
overly
alarmed.
The
Comisión
Nacional
de
Emergencias
(CNE)
-
national
emergency
commission
is
maintaining
a
"green"
alert
for
the
area.
