El Salitre, Mexico A suspected geyser that burst from the pig pens and backyard of a small Mexican farm this week has prompted evacuations, a school closure and a multi-agency scientific response, according to state and federal officials. The hydrothermal eruption began overnight Mon in the rural community of El Salitre. Water, mud and gases began spewing from “the middle of pig pens on a small family farm,” according to authorities. As of late Wed morning, the geyser-like phenomenon was still active, though in a reduced, bubbling-mud state with constant gas emissions rather than a jet. Earlier, authorities had reported an initial spout of about 15 meters, which subsided to 8 meters. An unknown number of pigs “died as the result of the eruption.” The CNPC reported Wed that 13 people had been evacuated, and that a security perimeter will remain in place as the phenomenon continues. https://mexiconewsdaily.com/news/suspected-michoacan-geyser-disrupting-life-small-rural-community/
