Philippine volcano blast prompts hundreds to flee

[KeithD]

Residents of Irosin township, Sorsogon province, about 600 kilometers (373 miles) southeast of Manila, Philippines, watch Mt. Bulusan volcano as it spews ash into the sky Monday, Feb. 21, 2011 in another phreatic explosion. Volcanologists warned there might be steam-driven phreatic explosions in the next days but alert level stays at No.1, the lowest in the four-level warning system.

Anyone on here live anywhere near this? Any pics .... mind you, Filipina's are mor interested in taking pics of family and friends rather than of scenery

Great pics on that site though, although makes you wonder why Kansas is interested .... maybe they are missing the tornado's and would like a volcano themselves
