Indonesia's Mount Merapi erupts with molten rock and huge clouds of hot gas as seen from Deles village in Klaten, Indonesia, early Monday, June 12, 2006. A massive blast of searing gas has collapsed a portion of Mount Merapi's unstable lava dome, easing pressure that threatened a full-blown eruption, but the volcano still could be deadly.

I swear it isn't my fault.
Did it ever occur to these people to move their livestock? I keep hearing this type of report.
On another note, how does this volcano compare to Mt. Pinatubo (sp?)?
There is an extremely dangerous volcano in the Canary Islands which, if the dome collapsed into the Atlantic Ocean, could wipe out every city on the East Coast of America. The mega tsunami it would produce would possibly reach a height of 1000+ feet as it raced across the ocean at more than 600 mph.
