Guatemala:
Thursday Guatemala's Pacaya volcano erupted covering the capital city in ash and shutting down the international airport. A television reporter was killed when he got to close to the volcano. At least three others have been reported dead. In 1998 the volcano twice erupted and force evacuations.
Ecuador: Tungurahua volcano also erupted blowing ash over Ecuador's most populous city. Flights were canceled, but neither of these volcanoes had the same affect on air travel as Iceland's recent volcanic eruption. At least 1,910 people have been moved to shelters. As of Thursday 800 homes were damaged. The ash was up to three inches thick in some parts of the city. In 2006 eruptions buried whole villages leaving thousands homeless.
