La Palma volcano: Lava continues to gush down mountain as new vents open

Spurts of lava gushed down the mountainside of the Cumbre Vieja volcano Saturday night and clouds of black smoke spewed into the sky early Sunday as experts say the eruption on La Palma island in Spain entered a more aggressive phase since starting Sept. 19.

New vents have also opened this weekend, creating more places for lava to flow.

Emergency services lifted a stay-home order for Los Llanos de Aridane, El Paso and areas of Tazacorte, but authorities have advised people to limit their time outdoors, and residents are wearing masks and using umbrellas as ash fills the air in some communities.

More than 800 buildings have been destroyed since the eruption began last month.
