On friday reports say the death toll from a Guatemalan volcano has risen to 3. Two of the people killed were villagers from a near by village and one was a news report from CNN. These victims were crushed by large rock thrown from the mouth of the volcano as it errupted. 4 people are still missing after the evacuation of near villages and some 1,800 people are located in shelters around the area. The volcano, Pacaya, has been dormant since 1965 and is at an elevation of 8,373 feet.
I thought this was a sad story. Its sad that there are people missing that that people have lost their family members. But I do find one thing interesting. The volcano had been dormant for so long, i wonder why it errupted?
