Lava from a volcanic eruption on the Spanish Canary Island of La Palma continued to cause havoc Wednesday, as hundreds of homes have been evacuated. There have been no reported fatalities or injuries.

The eruption began Sunday and has intensified. According to experts, lava might continue to spew for weeks and bury farmland and residential areas.

Streams of glowing lava were still being seen bursting into the sky. Thick rivers of lava have flowed throughout the island, destroying everything in its path.

The lava has burned down about 150 houses, along with buildings, schools, stores, and much of the landscape. It has caused around $102 million in property destruction so far, estimated by Property portal Idealista.

About 6,000 people have been evacuated from their homes in the El Paso and Los Llanos de Aridane areas.

"All we can do is cry. We are a small business. We live off all these people who have lost everything," a 30-year-old jeweler in the small town of Los Llanos de Aridane told Reuters.

The lava slowed down slightly earlier in the week but late on Tuesday the Canary Islands' Volcanology Institute said, “the scale of seismic activity within the volcano was intensifying.”

Lava streams are being monitored in case it flows far enough to leak into the coastal water.

Drone footage shows three different rivers of lava flowing westward towards the coast. This could bring up the possible hazardous concern of triggering more explosions or creating “clouds of toxic gas” when in combination with a mass amount of water.

Marine authorities have kept close a two-nautical mile area as a precaution.
