This has yet to break into the English-speaking media. So here is a rough Portuguese to English Google translation.
Cape Verde is +3 hours from US Eastern Time.
A small activity happened early in the morning, but intensified, with many crashes and earthquakes, around 10:00 am, ejecting ash and lava for the same crater where the eruption occurred in 1995. According to the geophysical, Bruno Faria, this outburst resembles 1951, which means that the risk may be higher than that of 19 years ago Volcanic activity takes place through the southern entrance of Cha das boilers, the lavas are already approaching the road and there are reports that there was a new point, right next to the first outbreak of rash. The INMG advises the immediate evacuation of the residents of Cha das Boilers, because the risk of emerging new points is great, and capable of a northern part, where is the residential area of Cha das boilers. The eruption was no surprise to the residents of Tea of boilers. With the fast and followed earthquakes that started around 20:00 Saturday, the inhabitants were ready notice. Also received the setting aside directly Saint Vincent and claim that tried to alert the local authorities, but without success. Despite the warning, many inhabitants of Cha das boilers remain in place. Residents are bags with the road borders, some insist on saving animals and personal property, but there are also those who refuse to leave the area. Institutional and private cars are giving aid, especially to children and the elderly. It is estimated that the boilers live in Cha, more than 1000 people. A team of volunteers from the Red Cross is the local path. Another civil protection of the Monasteries was sent to assist in evacuating the population. Also already in the Airport Beach elements of the National Civil Protection, ready to sail for the island of Fogo. About 30 agents also advise residents and to control the curious trying to get closer to the blast zone. Is also banned the main road that leads to the Tea boilers. According to the National Institute of Meteorology and Geophysics, since the month of October there were some abnormalities according to geophysicist, Bruno Faria. Earlier in the week it happened again some seismic activity, but returned to slow down, re last night with earthquakes. -

Background info:
Pico do Fogo pronounced: [ˈpiku du ˈfoɡu] is the highest peak of Cape Verde, rising to 2,829 metres (9,281 ft) above sea level. It is an active stratovolcano lying on the island of Fogo. The main cone last erupted in 1675, causing mass emigration from the island. A subsidiary vent erupted in 1995. The only deadly eruption was in 1847 when earthquakes killed several people.
Fogo is a hotspot volcanic island. Its most recent eruptions have occurred in 1951, 1995 and 2014. It is the youngest and most active volcano in the Cape Verde Islands, a short chain of volcanic islands that generally are younger at the western end, formed as the African Plate moved towards the east over the hotspot.[2]
Fogo consists of a single volcano, so the island is nearly round and about 25 kilometers (16 mi) in diameter. The large summit caldera (about 10 kilometers in the north-south direction and 7 kilometers in the east-west direction) is not located in the center of the island, but rather towards its northeastern corner. The caldera is bounded by steep near-vertical fault scarps on the north, west, and south sides but is breached to the east where lava can flow to the coast. North-northeast-trending eruptive fissures opened along the western flank of Pico, which formed inside the caldera between about 1500 and 1760.[2] The current topography of Fogo, with the caldera open to the sea on the east side, results from the sliding of the east flank of the volcano towards the ocean.[2]
The mountain's slopes are used to grow coffee, while its lava is used as building material. Near its peak is a caldera and a small village, Chã das Caldeiras, is inside this caldera.

8:17 AM PT: The Fogo volcano returned to activity in 2014, having started erupting shortly after 10 a.m. of Sunday, 23 November 2014.[4] There had been a few days of heightened seismic activity,[4] but they worsened beginning at 8 p.m. of Saturday night.[5]
The population of Chã das Caldeiras, totaling around 1,000 inhabitants, spent the night outside their homes due to the strong earthquakes,[4] and started being evacuated when the eruption began.[5] Like in 1995, some people initially refused to abandon their homes, but have gradually heeded the authorities' instructions.[5]
Bruno Faria, a Cape Verdean vulcanologist, said the intensity of the eruption had already surpassed that of the 1995 eruption, and approaches that of the 1951 eruption, one of the strongest ever recorded on the island.[5]

8:27 AM PT: The Cape Verdean minister also admitted the "unpredictability" of the volcano strength, ensuring, however, that about 13:00 local (14:00 in Lisbon), a team of technicians and specialists will follow by plane to the airport are Philip, who has since been closed and saw canceled the morning flight of TACV.
