Volcanic Eruption in S. Japan


This might be nothing of concern, however, the Japanese Meteorological Agency has reported that a volcano in S. Japan resumed an eruption after several weeks of calm.

The name of the volcano is Shinmoedake. It is located on Kyushu. Ash and rock have bellowed into the atmosphere according to sources. The ash reached 2.5 miles. Some have raised air navigation concerns.

This is a report from the Los Angles Times from six hours ago.

In a related matter, many governments are encouraging foreign citizens to leave the country according the the WSJ Live Updates. Travel to Japan is not recommended.

These developments reflect a serious situation for the country. My heart goes out to the Japanese people.
