via Volcano Cafe Keluds eruption started at 22.50 local time, but noteworthy is that the webcam covering the crater stopped transmitting as early as 17.53. It was most likely damaged by the ongoing heavy earthquake activity, or its power transmission was cut. As I had written in previous posts Kelud has a very explosive style when it erupts. Often it produces a VEI-3 or VEI-4 eruption within a few hours before the eruption starts to rapidly decline. Local official sources seem to indicate that this eruption is as powerful, or even slightly more so, than the 1990 VEI-4 eruption. The eruption started with a blast that cleared away the lava dome that was extruded in the 2007 non-explosive eruption of old de-gassed magma. According to local reports rock rained down as far as 15 to 20 kilometers away from the volcano. Seems like Indonesia and in general have been having a lot of eruptions lately. The last big one was just last week inn Indonesia. I believe it was Sinabung. Anyways, it’s pyroclastic cloud killed 16 people. The ring of fire is awakened! This is a major eruption and would not be shocked if more people were killed in this one too. Stay safe Indonesia.

Has been a huge surge in volcanic activity of late, what is the real cause.
