Thousand evacuated as Puyehue volcano erupts in Chile
SANTIAGO, Chile — The Puyehue volcano in southern Chile is
erupting, and authorities have evacuated about 1000 people living
nearby. There have been no reports of injuries.
The governor of Chile's Los Rios region says fire can be seen in
the volcano's crater and smoke is billowing into the sky.
Authorities put the area around the volcano on alert Saturday
morning after a flurry of earthquakes. The National Emergency
Office says it has recorded an average of 230 tremors an hour.
The volcano is nearly 500 miles (800 kilometers) south of
Santiago, the national capital.
