Popocatepetl volcano spews blasts of ash into sky south of Mexico City
    By Associated Press, Tuesday, August 30, 10:25 PM

    MEXICO CITY — The Popocatepetl (po-po-ka-TEH-peh-tel) volcano south of Mexico City is shooting blasts of ash from its crater.

    Mexico’s national disaster prevention agency says the volcano has spewed ash more than a half mile (a kilometer) into the sky four times Tuesday. It says there is a possibility ash could fall onto Mexico City overnight.

    The agency is urging people to stay at least 7 miles (12 kilometers) from the crater.

    The 17,886-foot (5,450-meter) volcano is about 40 miles (65 kilometers) southeast of the capital.
