...Rodr?guez, nacido en San Antonio, TX, de ascendencia mexicana, prefiere mantenerse fuera de Hollywood y conduce Troublemaker Studios en Austin, TX.

The initial Nevado del Ruiz blast sent steam and millions of tons of ash into the Andean air, but the debris was followed by almost no lava. About 90 minutes after the initial detonation, there was a second. It was so forceful that it shook the air in Cali, 150 miles to the southwest.
