A volcano that has destroyed nearly 1,000 buildings on a Spanish island increased its explosive power, roaring louder and spewing thicker lava flowing out of its main vent. The eruption started on Sept. 19 and has forced the evacuation of over 6,000 residents of the island of La Palma.

On Wednesday, clouds of sand and dust shrouded the island nation, in turn, obstructing the sky and prompting worries of public health.<\/p>\n<p>Saharan sandstorms reach Cuba and parts of the southern U.S. every year. This time, however, the dust is mixed up with sulfuric ashes from volcano eruption in the Canary Islands. This fact is adding to health concerns.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe sky today has been a bit opaque due to the dust from the Sahara. In addition to the pandemic, we also have these dust clouds and we have to take extreme health measures. We are here getting some air at the Malecon, but we have to take extreme health measures because there are two things. It is no longer one, now it is also the dust that can get us sick.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 Huber Nieves \u2013 resident of Havana, Cuba<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Cuban authorities recommend residents to stay indoors to reduce exposure to volcanic particles.
