SAIPAN, Northern Mariana Islands (AP) - Overnight rain washed away a dusting of ash from Anatahan Volcano, which continued to erupt on an uninhabited island just north of this tiny U.S. territory in the Pacific, authorities said Friday.
"We had a pretty good rain last night," which dissolved the ash that had settled on the capital island of Saipan, said Benjamin Cepeda, a public information officer with the commonwealth's Emergency Management Office.
The volcano on Anatahan Island erupted Wednesday morning, sending a plume of ash 50,000 feet into the air.
