Guest guest Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Tanzanian volcano erupts Tuesday, April 4, 2006; Posted: 12:52 p.m. EDT (16:52 GMT) ARUSHA, Tanzania (AP) -- A volcano in northern Tanzania known to locals as " the mountain of God " has erupted, forcing about 3,000 people to flee clouds of ash, a conservation official said Tuesday. Oldonyo Lengai Mountain erupted on Sunday and Monday, said Emmanuel Chausi, an official with the Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority. The mountain which is shaped like a perfect cone with no trees in the middle of the savanna, is just outside the conservation area and about 160 kilometers (100 miles) west of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak. " Luckily there are no injuries or deaths, " he told AP Tuesday, adding that both eruptions took place at night. http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/africa/04/04/volcano.ap/index.html Dasha: Sa/Su/Ju/Ju/Ke satva Jorge Angelino Rua da Sociedade Filarmónica Perpétua Azeitonense, 29 2925-598 Azeitão Portugal jorge.angelino tel: mobile: 210813674 963916784 Add me to your address book...
