Lightning flashes over La Palma volcano as lava engulfs buildings

At least four buildings on the Spanish island of La Palma have been destroyed by the flowing lava of a nearby volcano, according to witnesses.

The drama of the red-hot eruption on the Canary Islands was intensified by the spectacle of flashes of lightning.

The village of Callejon de la Gata was where the magma's lava flowed on Saturday morning local time.

There were a series of 37 seismic movements, with the largest measuring magnitude-4.1 on the Richter scale, the Spanish National Geological Institute said.

The Cumbre Vieja volcano began erupting on September 19.

It has destroyed more than 800 buildings and forced the evacuation of about 6,000 people from their homes on the island.
