Soooo...A Volcano erupted here

"We're in a volcano. We're surrounded by liquid hot magma"

Here´s the link to read up on it:

So basicially in short, the volcano Ilamatepec began to spew ash and (liquid hot)magma this saturday. Peace Corps volunteers near the region were exacuated and sent to the capital to await further instructions.

So, just to let you all know, I´m WAY on the other side (the volcano is in the department of Santa Ana, and I´m in San Miguel), and even if a big eruption did happen, I´d be fine...sorry to disappoint Chris, to go by way of volcano would have been a cool story. BUT, there´s still hope as El Salvador is experiencing above average rain fall which is basically causing all kinds of floods, mudslides, car crashes and deaths (due to vehicular causes or drowning). Good times in the country known as The Savior! Just today I was coming back from the capital and there was a serious accident (which, by the way, is common here) involving a jack knifed big rigg, a bus and several cars.

Seriously, who pissed off God to give this small country so many plagues? I think if the biblical stories are to be taken literally then I would say that Lucifer Fell to Earth and landed in El Salvador...think about it, it makes sense, but no one believes me. Oh well, different discussion for a different time, okay, I have to swim home now.
