from
Wikipedia
El Salvador has a long history of destructive earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
San Salvador was destroyed in 1756 and 1854, and suffered heavy damage in the 1919, 1982, and 1986 tremors.
The country has over twenty volcanoes, although only two, San Miguel and Izalco, have been active in recent years.
From the early nineteenth century to the mid 1950s, Izalco erupted with a regularity that earned it the name " Lighthouse of the Pacific.
" Its brilliant flares were clearly visible for great distances at sea, and at night its glowing lava turned it into a brilliant luminous cone.
