Mexican volcano hurls glowing rocks

By Associated Press, 12/11/2001 00:11

MEXICO CITY (AP) The towering Popocatepetl volcano near Mexico City shot out glowing rocks along with ash and gas late Monday, but experts did not expect a major explosion.

The glowing rocks fell within about 100 yards of the volcano's crater, according to the National Center for the Prevention of Disasters, which monitors the 17,886-foot volcano some 40 miles southeast of Mexico City.

It said the eruption was not likely to threaten nearby towns, but traffic near the volcano was restricted.

Volcanologists said the volcano appeared to be destroying a small lava dome which had formed in the crater since mid-November.

Looks like the villagers will be evacuated for Christmas again this year. Hope they get used to this ritual.
