Uqhushumbo olunamandla kunesiqhelo lwabanjwa kwiikhamera ezenziwa yiIstituto Nazionale Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV). Imifanekiso ekwabelwana ngayo ngu-Il Mondo dei Terremoti kwi-Twitter ibonisa ukuqhuma ngexesha langempela; ividiyo efakwe ziikhamera ze-infrared ezibonisa uqhushumbo lokuqala olushushu kunye nelifu elipholileyo lothuthu kunye neegesi ezikhathalela ithambeka. Esi sithuba somlotha oshushu kunye neegesi siyaziwa njengokuhamba kwepyroclastic.
Ukusuka elalini, kubonakala umsi womsi othe qhakra kangangeemitha ezili-100 ngaphezulu kwengqungquthela. Kungekudala emva kogqabhuko-dubulo, imvula yomdaka eqinileyo ye-lapilli encinci yaqala, igubungela yonke imiphezulu.
Umbala wamasuntswana amaninzi, ukuya kuthi ga kwiimilim ezimbalwa ubukhulu, ubukhulu becala wawunomdaka ngombala obomdaka ngombala, uchazwa njengo "mhlaba". Oku kungathetha ukuba uninzi lwezinto ezikhutshiweyo zinokuvela kumatye amadala e-lava kwimingxunya yengqungquthela okanye ngaphakathi kumoya, ukusuka kwindawo eziwileyo zemingxunya okanye imijelo. Nangona kunjalo, inani elincinci le-pumice elula yokukhanyisa yayikho nawo e-ash, mhlawumbi emele ibhetshi yemagma entsha eyayiqhube olo dubulo.
