The ashes got here in the last couple of days! All flights cancelled...

It's a mammoth amount of ash, it seems. I feel so sorry for all those people stranded at the airports. Even driving out of there must be very difficult, with all the thick layers of ash on the roads. It's pretty sobering for sure. :(

Newell's had to go all the way to Bahía Blanca on a bus, lol!
But it's definitely worse for the towns next to the cordillera, they can't even get out of their houses, etc :/

I was wondering how a lot of people would be able to travel, including footballers! At least the buses are running! But yeah, all the towns close to the area would have had much more ash falling, and it's probably going to be a very long time before it can be cleared away. :(

Yeah, if you look at Primera, clubs don't really have to travel a lot, the only teams that imply a bit of traveling are Godoy Cruz, Ñuls, Colón, Olimpo. But when you think of second division, there's definitely a lot more traveling to do. I think a team had to go all the way to Comodoro Rivadavia by bus!!!
