Volcano Erupts Near Tokyo

Early Monday Mount Asama, a volcano near Tokyo, erupted. No one has been reported injured or dead since the volcano eruption only stayed very close to the volcano. People were still affected by the eruption since the ash spread all over Tokyo and other surrounding cities. Breathing in volcano ash can actually be very harmful. Also, there were warnings saying that volcanic rocks may be falling out of the sky around the volcano. So, people could get hit in the head with a rock, which is pretty dangerous. The volcano also erupted last year, so it's active and could erupt again.
