Just now! Volcano Merapi has exploded! Indonesia is
covered in ashes!
Mar 11, 2023 ЯВА
On March 11, around 12:00 local time, Mount Merapi
erupted in Indonesia.
This is the most active volcano in the country, located
on the island of Java near the city of Yogyakarta.
The volcano released clouds of ash and gas up to 7 km
high.
There was a lava flow about 2 km long.
The eruption blocked the sun and covered many villages
with ash.
About a quarter of a million people live within 10 km
of the volcano.
Residents living on the slopes of Merapi were advised
to keep a distance of 7 km from the crater.
Tourism and mining have been halted.
There is currently no evacuation taking place.
This eruption is the second largest since 2021.
Large eruptions of Merapi occur approximately every 7
years, small ones - about twice a year.

She and family live in Lomboc. News says it is covering
atleast 8 villages nearby, so not sure but I would
imagine it is too close, since she did mention last time
it erupted they were also affected. Hopefully she or
Edie her EQ/Volcano friend will check in and they stay
safe.
