smoked over.

Has anyone ever heard of Chaitén, Chile? Neither have I; but apparently they have a volcano that's billowing like a 40 year-old chain smoker. It's been spreading ashes and smoke along the coastal country as well as across the Andes mountains that divide Chile and Argentina. The past couple of days, the gray cloud has made it's way to Uruguay, making it hard for Asthma sufferers like myself. Please keep the people of Chile, Argentina and Uruguay in your prayers. There's millions of people that are affected by this.
