Thousands evacuated as volcano erupts on Spain's La Palma island

Madrid The Cumbre Vieja volcano on Spain's La Palma island is continuing to expel molten lava and ash after erupting on Sunday and is likely to do so for days, the president of the Canary Islands regional government warned Monday.

Angel Victor Torres added in a post on Twitter that there had been no reports of injuries or deaths so far. The Canary Islands emergency services tweeted late Sunday that 5,000 people had been evacuated from the area nearest to the eruption. That figure included 400 tourists evacuated from a hotel on La Palma and taken to a hotel on the nearby island of Tenerife, Torres told Spanish radio station SER in an interview.

Hoy! Look out for tsunamis, Caribbean & North of there.
