La Palma terrible Lava waves, people try to escape

LA PALMA'S volcano oozes lava that advances through the Spanish island, destroying thousands of homes.

More than a month has passed since its initial eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano on La Palma, and the volcano has destroyed more than 2,000 buildings, according to official estimates.

This video filmed by the Canary Islands Volcanology Institute (Involcan) on Friday shows lava advancing on La Palma.

The volcano first erupted on September 19. A new south lava flow was reactivated and was running parallel to another flow on Camino Aniceto as of Thursday, Involcan said.
