“There is no indication that the eruption could end quickly, even if it is the most ardent wish of all,” Torres said, basing his claim on the scientists’ opinion. “We are at the mercy of the volcano and only she can decide when it will end,” he added.
Lava has been flowing from the crater of the volcano since September 19, flooding an area of 742 hectares and destroying almost two thousand houses. Thanks to the timely evacuation of about 7,000 people, the situation was managed without human casualties. La Palma is home to 83,000 people. According to satellite images, 60 kilometers of roads are destroyed.
