On the 21st of November, 1000 people were evacuated and taken to nearby shelters in southern Colombia after the Galeras volcano, which is the most active in the country, erupted. Nobody was hurt, but roads were closed as a precautionary measure in addition to the evacuations. There was minor ashfall in some surrounding towns. The volcano has a history of destructiveness, however. In 1993, it erupted and killed 9 people. It causes approximately 19 earthquakes per year.
