Volcano erupts Vanuatu

I don't know if there were any survivors but in... AMBAE ISLAND, Vanuatu — An erupting volcano on this remote South Pacific island burst into spectacular life Thursday — shooting steam and toxic gases 9,845 feet into the sky. Huge columns of dense white steam and muddy ash spewed above Ambae Island to reach the greatest height seen since the Mt. Manaro volcano began erupting Nov. 27. Thousands of villagers have been evacuated from the path of a possible lahar, or mud flow, that vulcanologists fear could burst over the crater lip if the eruption continues or intensifies, sweeping away the flimsy homes in its path. for more information click on link below: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,178049,00.html
