Volcano Mayon Due For An Eruption!!

Just watched your video, James, and the pictures are stunning. Something about volcanoes just gives me the creeps: give me a storm any day! Stay safe, 'hear?
 
Good day all,

Good stuff James ... I cannot judge the distance from the volcano, but it appears you are in a "relatively" safe area and on elevated terrain.

Keep up the good work!
 
Thanks!

I'm about 7 miles from the crater. The weather has cleared at last and I witnessed two secondary pyroclastic flows this morning at dawn, they didn't come from the crater so must have been spawned from falling debris. Sent ash cloud floating over west of Legaspi.

Hope to get more video online this evening local time.
 
The view from my hotel room at 5am this morning:

Heading back to Hong Kong today so my coverage of Mayon is over for now. I'll be keeping my eye out for the Big Bang and if it looks close to happening I'll be back here!
