Rincón de la Vieja volcano (northwest) today sent gas to 700 meters above the crater while the Turrialba (east) erupted ash about 500 meters, reported the Volcanological and Seismological Observatory of Costa Rica (Ovsicori).
A change in the direction of the winds towards the southeast caused that the ash of the Turrialba fell on near communities like Santa Cruz, the Verbenas, Santa Teresita, Vargas Street, Guayabito and La Isabel, something that rarely happens.
