mount merapi, a volcanic mount in province, have one big explosion every 5-10 years. but it can explode alsmot every year in smaller level. every day, smoke appears from the crater in the top of it and we can see it as beautiful scenery, as i told in my previous discussion. when it explodes, we gonna have ash rain, and it means we have to clean up our street, yard etc. it is 40 kms from my home. but for people who live in the mountainside, they have to move , seeking safe place. many people have died because ot if

It's like our Big Island in Hawaii. Just last night I came upon in my book, about Saint Agatha, the saint to protect against volcano eruption.

@nawala123 One island, Big Island has active volcano and it erupted just 2018. Link about Saint Agatha: (feast day Feb. 5.)
The people of Catania invoked her intercession when lava threatened their lives. St. Agatha’s popularity spread rapidly in the 3rd century after her gruesome martyrdom. She was brutally tortured to death for refusing to renounce her

The ashes from the volcanic mountain Merapi seem to travel to your locality covering 40 kms. That's a really long distance. it must indeed be a tough time cleaning.

@nawala123 yes I remember the Java volcano incident . the distance covered depends on how high the ash erupted from the volcano and how strong the winds are.
