Thursday, November 7, 2024 - Indonesia’s Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki erupted again on Thursday, Nov. 7 in an even larger incident than the one that killed nine people and injured dozens of others three days ago.
There were no immediate reports of casualties from the latest eruption.
The 1,584-meter (5,197-foot) volcano on the remote island of Flores shot billowing columns of ash 11 times on Thursday, with the latest and largest rising 8,000 meters (26,240 feet), said Hadi Wijaya, the head of Center for Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation
Photos show residents and school children running for their lives on
Thursday morning using the volcanic eruption just days after another eruption
on Monday, Nov. 4.
Some said it was the biggest eruption they had ever seen from Lewotobi
Laki-Laki.
"This is the first time I saw this big eruption since I've been
living in Lewolaga village," said Anastasia Adriyani, 41, who lives
outside the exclusion zone.
"I was cooking at the community kitchen (for evacuees) and when it
happened, I ran back home. I was very scared."
The volcano had shown less activity since Monday’s deadly
eruption killed nine people and injured 64 others.
