Dec. 15, 2007, at about 5:30 am, Volcan Fuego began producing a
significant plume of ash and steam and has continued to do so
uninterrupted since that time (it is now 7pm).  Observed from Antigua
Guatemala, it has also produced considerable flow of ash (and possibly
lava) down the eastern slopes, and presumably this is occurring much
more significantly on the western slopes which are not visible from
Antigua.  Now that it is completely dark and cloudy, it is not
possible to determine what is happening.

Others have said that on the evening of the 14th, lava flow down the
eastern slope was visible, as well as lava expelled upwards from the
vent at the peak.
