Source: VolcanoDiscovery.com - By T, 10/8/12

A further increase of activity has occurred. At 20:25 h local time yesterday, a new 100 m long lava flow was observed descending from the crater rim towards Ash Canyon. Incandescent blocks detach from the flow and create small avalanches.
12 explosions occurred during the last 24 hours with ash plumes rising 600-1400 m above the crater, reaching up to 5,000 f altitude and drifting up to 10 km to the S and SW. 8 rumbling were heard and shock waves that rattled windows in houses of nearby villages.
Incandescent material was seen rising 75 - 100 meters above the crater, and falling back created weak to moderate avalanches towards the Taniluyá and Ash canyons.
Fine ash fall occurred in the villages Panimaché I Panimaché II, Villa Morelia and Assumption.
