La Palma Volcano in the Canary Islands is STILL erupting

This thing just keeps going at a fairly constant rate. It has grown a respectable cinder cone with multiple vest of various activity. The tallest blasts out primarily tephra, the parasitic vents fountain, and rootless vents (lava tubes connected to the paravents) just continue to ooze lava streams towards the sea. Sadly over-running homes, businesses, and plantations. The pyroclastic tephra raining down is also causing problems outside the lava flows; burying roads and collapsing buildings.
