The volcano Fuego has started erupting and has forced about 33,000 people to evacuate. We live about 13 miles to the north of the volcano, but all the smoke and ash is being blown towards the south. Here’s a picture from Yahoo News which was taken from another town much closer to it:

It’s been cloudy today, so I haven’t been able to see it. But I did see a lot of smoke coming out of it yesterday when I was working on our house. Here’s a picture that I took of the view from Casa Shalom a few years ago. The volcano to the left is Agua, the double-humped one to the right is Acatenango, and the smaller, pointy one in the middle is Fuego. If you click on the image to open it up, you can see a little smoke coming out of it.
