Indonesia's deadly volcano unleashed another powerful eruption Monday, spewing searing clouds of gas and ash thousands of feet into the air to the sound of a booming explosion. There were no immediate reports of new casualties.

On the other side of seismically charged country, a break in weather was helping rescuers get aid to victims of a tsunami that slammed into several remote islands, sweeping entire villages to sea.

Mount Merapi, among 20 mountains now rumbling and spitting out ash in Indonesia, is one of the world's most active.

That would be a damned shame if this volcano somehow interrupted Obama’s trip to his adopted homeland.

Their favorite son will arrive soon to save them. Or more likely, Zero will intensify the disasters to apocalypse level.

I understand your logic, but allah doesn’t have control over the volcano...only God does.

Obama will be in Indonesia as soon as he leaves India on his half month foreign trip.

Ruler (for now)... not master.
