<font color=DarkOrange>Too many GPRS handsets used near volcano (?) August 28, 2000 Japanese Volcano Erupts Again Filed at 11:24 p.m. EDT By The Associated Press TOKYO (AP) -- A rumbling volcano on an island south of Tokyo erupted again Tuesday, spewing gray ash five miles into the air and forcing residents to stay inside. There were no reports of injuries. Mount Oyama, a 2,686-foot volcano on Miyake island, erupted at 4:35 a.m., the Meteorological Agency said. Because of reduced visibility from the falling ash, residents were urged to stay indoors and refrain from driving. On Aug. 18, Mount Oyama erupted with a five-mile column of ash mixed with volcanic rock in its largest eruption since the volcano rumbled back to life in early July. About 2,000 people were temporarily evacuated to local shelters after that eruption. The 22-square-mile island, part of the Izu chain, along with some neighboring islands have also been shaken recently by thousands of earthquakes. More than one-fourth of the 4,000 residents have fled the island, most of them seeking refuge in Tokyo. Copyright 2000 The New York Times Company
