Just say lava

The Mayon volcano in the Phillipines is erupting...spent the last while looking at stunning photos. It's amazing the way it rises alone from the farmland, 8,000 feet high! The army has evacuated almost 50,000 people and all the farm animals from a 5 mile radius. One woman said they were very sad to miss their Christmas at home, but it was alright to be sad and safe.
