Krakatau Volcano, Indonesia Eruptions from Krakatau volcano, Indonesia have forced the evacuation of tens of thousands residents. Seven districts affected are Kalianda, Rajabasa, Katibung, Sidomulyo, Ketapang, Sragi and Palas. On Monday ash from Anak Krakatau continued to cover residential areas in parts of Banten province and South Lampung. Visual observations showed ash emissions reaching a height of 600 m and drifting east. Ashfall has affected the operation of seismometers on the volcano. Fisherman and tourists are advised to stay at least 2 km from the volcano.

This is great. At least the media will move away from Arizona and nuts with Glocks. Nothing like a great, polluting volcano that causes global climate change to get the media’s attention. Oh yeah, and a lot of people dieing.

2 km or 1.5 miles isn't a safe distance IF the volcano blows like Mt. St. Helens or the old Krakatoa!

Ten times the distance is more like it.

Global Warming!
Bush’s Fault!

I am numb to disasters. All I can think of is we will end up paying to put everything right.

[wolfman23601]

I blame SUVs, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh and evil corporations.

It’s the End Times.

Fisherman and tourists are advised to stay at least 2 km from the volcano.

How about a 2000 km distance and way inland away from any ocean!

Elaine: What did you think, that would impress me?

Jerry: You got it all wrong! I was thinking only of the poor Krakatoans!

Elaine: Like you give this donation for 50 bucks and I'd start tearing my clothes off?

Jerry: Those brave Krakatoans... East of Java! Who sacrificed so much for so long!

I am absolutely sure that the "vitriolic, vituprative" rhetoric from the right wing nut jobs coupled with the prevalence of handguns in our society caused this volcanic eruption.

FOX News should be banned, increase funding for The Endowment for the Arts by 3,000%, re-establish the fairness doctrine, and Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck and Coulter banned forever from the airwaves.

In this way...we'll put an end to that nasty old lava and further eruptions.

And if all this doesn't work....we'll just blame it on Bush!

Exactly!

"Krakatoa Erupting!"

and

"Stay at least 2 kmaway."

don't belong in the same story.

Kudos on the Seinfeld quote!

[ken5050]

Yup..maybe the MSM will all fly IN towards the site...

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

The EPA needs to control these massive C02 emissions! Immediately! It's now making the Oceans acidic!

[Kenny Bunk]

What time is the tsunami?

[ghost of nixon]

isn’t Krakatoa west of Java?

[Red Badger]

It ain’t 2012 yet................

[Kartographer]

“What time is the tsunami?”

Depends CNN is in negotiations with Mother Nature to get it to hold off until the February Sweeps, they disparately need the ratings!
