The countrys National Institute of Seismology, Vulcanology, Meteorology and Hydrology warned of columns of ash from the Fuego volcano in the south of the country rising up to 4,500 meters (14,700 feet) above sea level. The Santa Maria volcano in southwestern Santiaguito ejected ash about 500 meters above the crater, the institute said. The organisation also cautioned air craft from flying in the vicinity of the ash-spewing volcanoes. Fuego and Santa Maria are two of several active volcanoes in the country. Activity from the Fuego volcano in 2012 prompted authorities to evacuate thousands of people from its slopes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Report date: 05:16:38 AM 04.01.2015 Magnitude: 4.8 Depth: 114 km Continent: Middle-America Country: Mexico State: Oaxaca Location: El Espinal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Earthquake report Report date: 12:11:00 PM 03.01.2015 Magnitude: 4.3 Depth: 10 f km Continent: Middle-America Country: Honduras State: Gracias a Dios Location: Barra Patuca
