A burst of hot clouds (wedus gembel) has a fairly hot temperature of about 600-1000 degrees Celsius. Heat clouds slid out of the crater of Mount Merapi with a speed of about 60 km / h and swept the village and killed several people. Events in the Indonesian city of Yogyakarta, Java from my house about 25 kilometers. What should I do after Mount Merapi erupted? Many people are mostly farmers lost their livelihoods, homes and possessions destroyed even buried in mud and sand to a depth of tens of meters

I live about 10 kilometers, from Mount Merapi. Disaster happens, many of an impact for residents. Many residents who lost homes, and also the place to seek fortune. All you have to do, is pray that things get better. Today, the situation is getting better, and residents began to organize his life back.

Hai indahfth... Wow ... you must be more clearly seen it happen. However, we should be grateful it was given the health and lack nothing. Although at the time of the incident we would have resigned to what will befall us.

every disaster give some lesson for everyone in future. what happen in merapi mount is not similar with what happen in aceh. but people doesn't learn any past about merapi mount. even people in merapi doesn't care about warning from goverment. i hope in future, all of our people wanna learn about every natural disaster in our country.

Were they not warned that an eruption was eminent so they could prepare and evacuate. It is such a terrible news. That is very sad. Must be really terrible to be buried just like that. I am sure the government will take measures as to how people that will be affected nearby can be best protected. I am so sorry to hear that. You really need to do something if you think the ashes might even reach your vicinity. God bless you.

Previously the mountain is also expected to erupt, but it did not happen and it lasted until the old and declared safe. But the signs were emerging, local governments have warned but the population still believes that it will not happen with the volcano

The situation can not imagine bro ! so fast and terrifying, it happened at about 10.00 pm the people rushing to move away from dangerous areas. Especially when it's drizzling, until the people in her body filled with mud to evacuate because of exposed ash eruptions and rainwater
