Volcano erupts near Guatemala City

By Gustavo Valdes, CNN
May 28, 2010 -- Updated 0601 GMT (1401 HKT)

(CNN) -- A volcanic eruption covered the Guatemalan capital with ash Thursday evening, prompting evacuations and shutting down the city's international airport, government officials said.

Pacaya volcano, located about 15 miles (25 km) south of Guatemala City, began erupting around 7 p.m. (9 p.m. ET).
At least 1,800 people have been placed in shelters after four villages near the volcano were evacuated, said David de Leon, spokesman for the national disaster commission.

 I can truly see God stopping all wars with a major volcanic eruption.
Grounding all jets with nuclear bombs, disrupting all missle launches.

Two huge volcanoes in Central and South America are spewing lava, rocks and debris, forcing thousands of people to flee their homes.

A volcano known as Tungurahua — Throat of Fire — came to life Friday morning, 130 kilometres southeast of Ecuador's capital, Quito, and exploded continuously through the night.

 Guatemala City, Guatemala -- The death toll from the eruption of a volcano in Guatemala has risen to at least three people, an official said Friday.

Two villagers from El Bejucal and a reporter from CNN affiliate Noti 7 were killed as a result of Thursday's eruption of the Pacaya volcano, said David de Leon, a spokesman for the national disaster commission.
The three victims were crushed by rocks strewn by the volcano.
Pacaya, located about 18 miles (30 kilometers) south of Guatemala City, began spewing ash and soot Thursday evening.

 Those of us who like disaster movies and stories will lose all taste for them as we watch the REAL death and destruction happening in the world.
Revelation 8:9
And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

 SOLAR FLARES:

Today, June 12th at 0055 UT, new sunspot 1081 unleashed an impulsive M1-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the blast in high-resolution:

The explosion hurled a billion-ton coronal mass ejection (CME) off the sun's western limb; the cloud will probably not hit Earth.

 Electronic Armageddon?
Congress Worries That Solar Flares Could Spell Disaster

Posted Image

High-energy electric pulses from the sun could surge to Earth and cripple our electrical grid for years, causing billions in damages, government officials and scientists worry. The House is so concerned that the Energy and Commerce committee voted unanimously 47 to 0 to approve a bill allocating $100 million to protect the energy grid from this rare but potentially devastating occurrence.

"The sun is waking up from a deep slumber, and in the next few years we expect to see much higher levels of solar activity," said Richard Fisher, head of NASA's Heliophysics Division. "At the same time, our technological society has developed an unprecedented sensitivity to solar storms."

Yes, I was actually on line responding to one of some posts when it happened! (I made a comment on his post to that affect.) It was like a rolling motion.

I'm always shakey during an earthquake, because when it's happening, I keep expecting it to get stronger. We're all waiting for the "Big One" here in California, so when the ground starts shaking, that's the first thing that I think of..."Oh, oh, is THIS it???"
