M. PRESS/

 The government reports that more than 4.5 mn fish have been killed in the Rio Nilahue from hot volcanic ash and rocks.
A news report says the river looked like a “thick, vaporous torrent of chocolate.”
The water in Lago Ranco...normally 41 degrees Fahrenheit... is now 113 degrees Fahrenheit.
“I’ve never seen the lake like this; it’s a disaster,” said a cattle rancher.
