Mountain of Fire

Mount Merapi is one of at least 129 active volcanoes in Indonesia, part of the "Ring of Fire" - a series of fault lines and volcanoes encircling the Pacific Ocean.
"Small eruptions may be a sign of worse to come. Mount Merapi has been rumbling for about a month, but an increase in lava flow in the past day has triggered concerns that a nasty eruption could be imminent."

All this is beginning to sounds like a definite major eruption, I hope those people living in the densely populated area at the base of the volcano evacuate soon.
