===Eruptions from 1948 to 1951=== From 1948 to 1951, Mt. [[Hibok-Hibok]] was constantly rumbling and smoking. The first minor eruption in 1948 caused little damage and loss of life, but in 1949, a larger eruption caused 79 deaths due to [[pyroclastic flows]]. The largest eruption occurred in the morning of December 4, 1951. The volcano unleashed lava flows, poisonous gases, and pyroclastic flows destroying nearly 19 square kilometers of land, particularly in Mambajao. All in all, over 3,000 people were killed. Before the eruption of Mt. Hibok-Hibok in 1951, the population of Camiguin had reached 69,000. After the eruption, the population was reduced to about 34,000 due to massive out-migration. Most who left moved to the mainland Mindanao, mainly around Misamis Oriental.<ref name="History">[http://www.camiguin.gov.ph/about_history.php "History"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120529153351/http://www.camiguin.gov.ph/about_history.php |date=May 29, 2012 }}.
