Volcano Eruption Sends Tens of Thousands Fleeing

Joel 2:30 "I will display wonders in the sky and on the earth, Blood, fire and columns of smoke.

<blockquote>“I believe the earth itself is groaning (Rom. 8:19-22) in anticipation of the Lord’s return. Part of this groaning includes floods, volcanoes, tidal waves, hurricanes, and earthquakes.”

Over 33,000 people have been ordered to evacuate as Guatemala’s Fuego volcano experienced a violent eruption Thursday night.

Volcanologists have reported that burning rocks are flying as high as half a mile above the volcano’s crater and that lava is rushing down the mountain’s slopes. The eruption is being called the biggest since 1999.

The volcano is located 31 miles southwest of the capital, Guatemala City.

“We will do the best we can to avoid people being harmed,” President Otto Perez Molina told the BBC. The head of Emergency Operations said that more than 33,000 people and 17 towns have been ordered to evacuate.

Lava is covering a 4.3-mile area on the south and southwest side of the volcano. Authorities have recommended that all air travel near the volcano cease due to the rapidly spreading ash cloud from the volcano crater.

“We heard loud thunder and then it got dark and ash began falling,” 28-year-old Miriam Carumaco told the BBC. “It sounded like a pressure cooker that wouldn’t stop.”
