the fact it says the volcano is on an island and not in the mainland hopefully means little to no casualties and little repercussions/after effects.

In short, the volcano has been relatively active for a couple months. It started erupting back in January, but calmed down a bit at the beginning of this month. So it was already a problem before the current disasters in Japan before erupting again on the 13th.
Still, they fear that the tectonic unrest may make the eruptions worse. Here's hoping it goes back to sleep without causing more problems.
Yeah the japanese people are going through enough..Hopefully everything will be ok.
The live BBC update feed is getting pretty dire sounding the looks of it..
"1844: Mikan in Tokyo writes: "There is a growing sense that the Japanese government is not telling us the true story. On one end, there is the Japanese media that plays down the nuclear drama and focuses on human drama, and at the other, the foreign media is up-playing the nuclear disaster. In my company I heard at least half the essential staff is being sent to Hong Kong, Singapore or even Sydney. I am preparing to leave Tokyo and/or Japan. So are many of my friends. There is a sense of deserting Tokyo as soon as possible.""
Unnerving stuff...
