Status of Mount Merapi,the more alarming. Places to evacuate was prepared. Monday afternoon, residents will be evacuated. My house is close to places of refuge. Location of Mount Merapi, 20 km from where I live. Hopefully, the eruption did not cause many casualties.

Wow...I pray for everyone’s safety..I cannot imagine living close to an erupting volcano. The only thing one can do is get as far away as possible I suppose. It reminds me of the terrible bushfires we had here early last year when all folks could do was stay or go and so many were killed. I hope nobody will be hurt and that all will be evacuated and safe in plenty of time. My prayers are with you all...

Yes, we have the same hope, but I have feeling just when I heard the Merapi roars, she'll not blast in massive explosive, I don't know about this, but this is my hunch, not a prophecy.

merapi status was alarming and in that situation we have to learn on mbah maridjan, how he was so calm facing merapi situation because he believed merapi so friendly to people who live surrounding and will give natural sign before the situasion become worst

Really, mam? I don't know about that. Seems that the Old Mardijan should take any action, lol. It is good to give an alarm earlier. We don't want to have the more victims just because of tardiness. Like what happens in Situ Gintung. That's not disaster I think, that's stupidity. The alarm has been given, but they ignore them. May God bless Indonesia!
