I think this is the preliminary to the big eruption, the authorities are warning the big one is expected within 24 hours.
Judging by wind patterns Papua should be well out of it although air travel will be disrupted elsewhere. Seems like Lombok will be worst effected.
That is what I am thinking, too. I haven’t even dusted of my bug-out bag. Actually, I think it is kind of thrilling, tempered with concern for those who have suffered loss by it.
I viewed it’s neighbor, Gunung BATUR , some years ago. THERE ARE PEOPLE LIVING IN THE CALERA! I am concerned for them as well.
