Mount Ruang spat out a column of ash three kilometers high - accompanied by lightning bolts - as it erupted five times over the past two days.
The threat of rock slides prompted authorities to warn residents of the danger of tidal surges. Thousands of people have been evacuated from the remote northern island where the volcano is located.

-
Incredible volcanic lightning. Hope all the people evacuate safely.

I am Indonesian and i live in Sulawesi Utara,manado and when I woke up there was volcanic ash on my car.

Tornados , flooding , heatwaves .. now volcanoes and tsunamis...and its just April
-
Here in Malaysian, people already suffer from the sulfur dioxide, let alone the Indonesian who have to live near it, may we all be save🙏

That lightning is crackin' an' poppin' like flint dust in a fire!

What even makes me feel terrified, is that the fact that ruang volcano is also just few kilometers away from the other dangerous awu volcano (which is at alert level 3 right now). Yesterdays eruption from ruang volcano was quite massive. It's plume rose to a height more than 44.000 ft above sea level. And the pyroclastic flow reaching 5km away from the summit. This is somewhat similar in pattern to mount kelud 10 years ago, that volcano also producing 27km height ash plume and begins with spike in eq activity 1 weeks earlier. But for now, there's no sign of such tsunami to occur, unless the activity increasing once again and creating more explosion. Stay safe everyone. I will always monitor all the things here in indonesia. Greeting from indonesia

A volcano erupted on my home island once,after it blew in the morning the lightning started in the night, probably when all the ash fell back.

Creating more engagement by using spelling mistakes, genius.

My thoughts are for the animals who are left in the island...just like what happened in Mt Taal in the philippines in january 2020...

Making sure everyone affected by the eruption is out and safe is a big job for just two men. Kudos to them!!!
