As a Colombian-American my heart and thoughts are with my people.

Galeras eruption, near Pasto and located in southern Colombia, has cause 8,000 people to flee their homes.

Although authorities ordered the 8,000 residents of the two towns nearest the volcano evacuated, few people abandoned their homes, fearing theft, the mayor of the nearby city of Pasto, Eduardo Alvarado, told The Associated Press.
