00:53

Colombian officials have begun evacuating families from their homes after the Nevado del Ruiz volcano showed high levels of seismic activity that could signal an eruption in the coming days or weeks. The volcano's last major eruption took place in 1985. It unleashed mudslides that buried the town of Armero and killed about 25,000 people.
