Lava streams threaten residents on slopes of Guatemalan volcano 2 minutes read
By Emiliano Castro Saenz
San Vicente Pacaya, Guatemala, Apr 14 (EFE).- Streams of lava from Guatemala’s Pacaya continue to flow in the general direction of two villages perched on the slopes of the 2,552 m (8,373 ft) mountain.
More than two months since the start of the latest of Pacaya’s 23 documented eruptions over the last five centuries, the Guatemalan government remains without a plan to evacuate the roughly 2,200 inhabitants of El Rodeo and El Patrocinio should it become necessary.
As witnessed by Efe on Wednesday, the slow-moving currents of lava are less than a kilometer away from some homes in the municipality of San Vicente Pacaya, just 40 km (25 mi) south of Guatemala City.

April 12 You wake up to a dark, dreary, glum-feeling, Monday-type of morning. For the 547th consecutive day. Just 18 months prior, you were a hard-working farmer gearing up for another bountiful crop season.
But then the skies went dark. From early 536 to 537, they stayed dark.

Across much of eastern Europe and throughout Asia, spring turned into summer and fall gave way to winter without a day of sunshine. Like a blackout curtain over the sun, millions of people across the world s most populated countries squinted through dim conditions, breathing in chokingly thick air and losing nearly every crop they were relying on to harvest.
