White Island

Like most of the country, 'm waiting for more news about . As at 7.30 pm there's one dead and 27 missing. One just hopes the 27 missing is an inaccurate estimate and/or they are found alive.

A sad reminder that active volcanoes can and do erupt without much warning.

Thoughts are with those were on the island, and the rescuers who are bringing them out.

UPDATE: Now five confirmed dead.

UPDATE2: Of 47 on White Island, 34 are injured, eight are missing presumed dead and five are confirmed dead.
