Devastation in Guatemala, about 20 miles south of Guatemala City as a volcano erupts. NPR reports:
“At least 25 people are dead and hundreds injured after Guatemala’s Mount Fuego, one of Central America’s most active volcanoes, began spewing ash and lava. Authorities feared the toll could rise as many people were missing after the sudden eruption.”
“Hundreds of rescue workers, including firefighters, police and soldiers worked to recover bodies from the still-smoking lava.
Firefighters said they had seen some people who were trapped, but roads leading to the area were cut by pyroclastic flows and they had been unable to reach it. In darkness and rain, the rescue effort was ordered suspended until early morning, municipal firefighters spokesman Cecilio Chacaj said.”
