How the Mount Ruang volcano has suddenly become a major threat to its surroundings | DW News

Indonesia has issued a tsunami warning and declared its highest level of alert following a series of volcanic eruptions.
Mount Ruang spat out a column of ash three kilometers high - accompanied by lightning bolts - as it erupted five times over the past two days.
The threat of rock slides prompted authorities to warn residents of the danger of tidal surges. Thousands of people have been evacuated from the remote northern island where the volcano is located.

That lightning is crackin' an' poppin' like flint dust in a fire!

[@FIRMVN15]

What even makes me feel terrified, is that the fact that ruang volcano is also just few kilometers away from the other dangerous awu volcano (which is at alert level 3 right now). Yesterdays eruption from ruang volcano was quite massive. It's plume rose to a height more than 44.000 ft above sea level. And the pyroclastic flow reaching 5km away from the summit. This is somewhat similar in pattern to mount kelud 10 years ago, that volcano also producing 27km height ash plume and begins with spike in eq activity 1 weeks earlier. But for now, there's no sign of such tsunami to occur, unless the activity increasing once again and creating more explosion. Stay safe everyone. I will always monitor all the things here in indonesia. Greeting from indonesia

[@emawerna]

Krakatoa's eruption also made the loudest sound in recorded history. In 1815, a different Indonesian volcano erupted, Mount Tambora. Because of all the ash in the air, the next year was called "the year without summer," crops didn't grow that following year, and there were famines across the world.

[@redbarchetta8782]

So far it's not as big. But there's potential.
