No reported deaths and only ash so far. Also learned on the same link that Villarica, near Pucon, erupted recently.
I visited all three towns in 2012 and hope that these are one off events and everyone stays safe.

Certainly scary, and hopefully there isn't much damage, but amazing photos:

More links. Apparently the ash may reach as far as Buenos Aires!

In the BBC link they speak of 500 volcanoes with the possibility of eruption. In fact the list is of about 90, 45 of which are permanently monitored and stretch from the far north to the far south. Calbuco is #3 on the list, so not the surprise that Chaiten was. Despite monitoring, there were only minor indications of activity on Calbuco a couple of days before.
