SHUT DOWN Roads were closed due to the explosion and authorities urged the curious not to approach the area. La Palma has a population of 85,000 and is one of eight islands in Spain's Canary Islands. ‘IMMEDIATE DANGER' A 3.8-magnitude quake was recorded before the eruption as vibrations from the seismic activity were felt on the surface. One black lava flow with a burning tip was sliding toward some houses in the village of El Paso. Mayor Sergio Rodriguez said 300 people in immediate danger had been evacuated from their homes and sent to the El Paso's football field.
