Fuego Volcano Forces Mass Evacuations | Hattiesburg News

Guatemala’s Fuego volcano erupted violently this week, forcing 659 people from eight nearby villages into shelters as ash and gas clouds rolled in. The blast, captured in dramatic videos, sent lava cascading down slopes and triggered evacuations — including 250 from El Porvenir and Las Lajitas alone. This isn’t the first time: a 2018 eruption killed hundreds and displaced nearly 1.7 million. Authorities shut down Highway 14 and paused school classes for safety. With alerts still active, locals brace for more — nature’s raw power on full display. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
