Volcano in Indonesia, Mt. Agung looks like shes gonna blow
BALI, Indonesia — Nearly 50,000 people have fled the Mount Agung volcano on the Indonesian tourist island of Bali, fearing an imminent eruption as dozens of tremors rattle the surrounding region, officials said Monday.

Waskita Sutadewa, spokesman for the disaster mitigation agency in Bali, said people have scattered to all corners of the island and some have crossed to the neighboring island of Lombok.

Indonesian authorities raised the volcano's alert status to the highest level on Friday following a dramatic increase in seismic activity. It last erupted in 1963, killing about 1,100 people.

Thousands of evacuees are living in temporary shelters, sports centers, village halls and with relatives or friends. Some return to the danger zone, which extends up to 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) from the crater, during the day to tend to livestock.

12km... what an under statement. a VEI 7/8 could cause 150 ft tsunamis, blanket of ash around the world, global winter/crop failure, So the outcome is bleak. Hopefully it'll fizzle it's jizz and go back to sleep.

Re: Volcano in Indonesia, Mt. Agung looks like shes gonna blow
I live in Bali.

The media loves to dramatize Bali.

People are not fleeing all corners of the island, let alone fleeing to Java or Lombok.

There is an evacuation zone 5 to 7 kilometers around the crater and about 10,000 people evacuated (could be up to 50,000, but that is the highest number I have read. 10,000 is what media here says).

Thousands of tourists are arriving daily.

With that said, the volcano is not a joke. It is fully capable of a major eruption and Bali could get covered with ash. People need to be prepared for the ash clouds.

But the island of Bali is not about to explode.

Australian media has a reputation for demonizing Bali.

Makes for great headlines and gets viewers.

I can understand insurers canceling travel insurance though. It is 80% likely to erupt and the airport will probably close for a period of time.

Localized doom but almost certain volcanic winter for 2018 given its high end VEI-5 status and proximity to the Equator.
