In Indonesia, two volcanic eruptions are threatening surrounding populations.
Mount Bromo, a popular tourist attraction on Indonesia's main island of Java, spouted a huge plume of smoke and ash, prompting the government to move to its highest alert level. Ash is raining down on towns downwind of the eruption area, and there are reports of two deaths from falling rocks. Bromo last erupted 12 years ago, but caused no casualties.
