DennisLinkletter Posted May 16, 2006 Report Posted May 16, 2006 Thank you all for your concern as you read about the semi volcanic eruption here in Indonesia. Mount Merapi, at 9,900 feet, reawakened in recent months after years of inactivity. Molten lava has been visible over the past few days bubbling inside the crater and numerous streams of fire can be seen at night on Merapi's slopes. The biggest danger from this type of volcano is from hot gas clouds can reach temperatures of more than 572 F and travel quickly down her slopes cooking all in it path... I've sent a truckload of my Volcanic Classics for the children near merapi to hide in should there be a catastrophic eruption Merapi is near the city of Yogyakarta which is a 40 minute flight from where I am in Surabaya, East Java. We are all safe and building 5 or 6 Volcanic Textured OTb's this week to honor the eruption! Thanks again for your kind concern..
HappyOwner Posted May 27, 2006 Report Posted May 27, 2006 Earthquake Dennis - given the distance Surabaya is from Yogyakarta, I assume you weren't affected by the earthquake. But here's best wishes that you weren't and if you were that no one was injured and a speedy recovery. Kevin
