A. Comprehension Read the text then do the following activities. It was after 10 p.m, and most of Armero was fast asleep. Suddenly a heavy downpour fell over the central Colombian town-not of rain, but volcanic ash. Within an hour, the Lagunilla River on the edge of town, burst its banks sending waves of mud six feet high crashing through the streets. The deluge swept away trees, cars, and entire houses. Hundreds of people rushed outside, shouting:”Get out of your houses! Get out of the town! People are drowning!”. Some managed to get to small untouched places or to take hold of tree branches above water level. But, thousands of others were not so lucky. They lost their balance as the mud slides carried off everything in their way. Truck driver, Pedro Mancera, 25, shouted to his wife and two young sons to run for their lives. The

family hurried into the street just in time to see a wall of mud fall on their house. They walked about six feet, then another avalanche lifted them into the air, separating the parents from the children. Mancera was thrown against some objects, and for three minutes he was able to rest. Then, a third mud slide enveloped him. He stayed afloat by gripping the edge of a rooftop. But the killer current kept coming, throwing him against an uprooted tree and breaking his left arm. Mancera survived, but thousands of others did not. Colombian authorities estimated that more than 20.000 people were killed, thousands were injured and up to 60.000 were left homeless in one of the worst volcanic disasters in history. When the Arenas crater erupted inside the 18.000 foot peak, it melted the mountain’s icecap and sent floods and mud slides cascading into the nearby Lagunilia and Chincina valleys. The deluge buried almost all of Armero and damaged many smaller towns. At the week-end, the government reported two more eruptions and urged residents on both sides of the volcano to remain on alert in case of a new evacuation order. Newsweek, November25, 1985 1.
