Thousands flee Congolese city of Goma over fears of 2nd volcanic eruption

Thousands of people fled the Congolese city of Goma on Thursday after authorities warned a second volcanic eruption could happen at any time.

Magma had been detected beneath the city and the adjoining Lake Kivu, said Constant Ndima Kongba, the military governor of North Kivu province, citing seismic and ground deformation data. He added that an eruption “could occur with very little or no warning.”

Thirty-one people were killed on Saturday when Mount Nyiragongo, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, sent a wall of lava towards the city, destroying 17 villages along the way.

Please God bless them all with your strength and make it easy for them.

How cold hearted a world where we watch others tragedies, but fail to empathize or help.
Prayers for the people of Goma

not a mask nor life vest in sight. I hope they all get off safely.

That's a good move.
There's definitely a big chance it might happen again.

Those people must have strong necks for all the stuff they carry on their heads.

That is unfortunate, to see them singing is uplifting though, they are making the best of a unfortunate situation

Trent (77) July 27(77) 30th Sunday of 1986 Trent 36(86) Holy God(86) 72786(30). Now Steve Harvey came under much speculation when he stated the rich dont get sleep but that is how it is. Ecclesiasties 5:12 the rich simply dont sleep. It seems to like their sleep would be sweet but he noticed what Solomon was talking about so whatever people think. Eunuch brook. God brook. Also the rich answer roughly you have to know that. Anger slowly and here the advice.
