Mt Agung starts to erupt

www.news.com.au...

BALI’s rumbling Mount Agung volcano has erupted, after months of intensive monitoring and extensive local evacuations.
The eruption was confirmed by the Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation Centre.
“Already, it’s already erupted,” PVMBG head, I Gede Suantika, said.
“There is already ash fall,” Suantika said.
Locals are being urged to remain calm and not to panic.
More to come

not a lot of info yet, people said it might calm down for a month or so then come back to life... fingers crossed

Hasnt been any major activity in the area the last 15 or so hours

Don't panic. Move.

If I saw that out my window, I'd move.

a reply to: Agit8dChop I love volcanic eruptions but would never want to be near one. I really hope that is a image you pulled from the web and not your window. If the later please be safe and start gearing up NOW.

Thankfully, I am far away!

But I agree, if I saw that with my own eyes I would be making tracks

They live with volcanoes in Indonesia the way people in Cali live with earthquakes. Their response might be bit less freaked out. I'm sure they'll move, but I doubt it's a panic response at the moment.

Agung is one to watch. It may go big like Mt. St. Helens.
