Last night we had the largest eruption so far. We had a total blackout until this morning, and it rained sand and ash. The rumbling of the mountain can be heard until dawn. Danger zone is increased to a radius of 20km. My friends who live higher up have evacuated already.
Masks are highly recommended now.
Update:
Pics uploaded. You can clearly see the ash buildup from Thursday night's ashfall. And this is mild compared to other places.
I went for a ride through the city at Friday afternoon (had to take my parents to the train station), and it was like driving through the desert. Ash and dust everywhere. Visibility is limited, although not too dangerous yet, and lots of vehicles look like they've just been through a cross country rally. Rain helped to settle the dust, but once it dries up, it's going to get dusty again.
