Towns surrounding Mount Kelud in Indonesia are cleaning up after the eruption of the 5,680 foot high volcano sent a plume of ash up to 360 miles across Indonesia's Java island. Four people, including a 97-year-old woman were killed when their roofs collapsed from the weight of accumulating ash, reports The Associated Press. Ash and debris shot 12 miles into the air during the Friday eruption, which forced 100,000 people to evacuate, according to an Associated Press report. Indonesia's disaster agency said the blast could be heard from 125 miles away.
