(DSC02141) A BRIEF ACCOUNT OF MT VOLCAN ERUPTION (MAY 13, 1871): 6:00 PM: Cotta Brio, the coastal town of Camiguin Island was a quiet and attractive town verdant in its natural wonders. Its peaceful shores provided strolling grounds for its inhabitants as they basked under the graciouys moonlight. Suddenly ... tranquility came to a halt as subrterranean rumbling sowed indescribable terror. Hundreds of houses and the churches crumbled into pieces; the ground rolled and broke into deep crevices with horrifying earthquake served only as prelude to the destructive climax, a cataclysm never mitnessed before Mt Volcan gave out its fiercest and most violent outbreak. 6:20 PM: Cotta Bato was but a dreadful pile of ruins. The single volcanic eruption buried the beautiful town into obscurity. Hundreds of lives were lost, while the survivors sought refuge of the open country that gave them hope for tomorrow.
