Two More Indonesian Volcanoes Show Signs of Activity Following Evacuation of Mount Talang Apr 13, 2005 AIR BATUMBO, Indonesia (AP) - Scientists warned hikers and visitors to stay away from two more Indonesian volcanoes Wednesday, a day after another volcano spewed ash on disaster-stricken Sumatra Island and forced the evacuation of some 25,000 people. Sensors on the slopes of the two mountains - Anak Krakatoa on the southern tip of Sumatra Island and Tangkuban Prahu in Java - picked up an increase in volcanic activity and a buildup of gases, said government volcanologist Syamsul Rizal. On Tuesday, Mount Talang, also on Sumatra Island, sent clouds of gas high into the air. Some 25,000 people have fled the area around the volcano and are staying in tents and public buildings, officials said. Rizal said it was possible the increased volcanic activity could be linked to recent earthquakes that have rocked Sumatra Island, including one on March 28 that killed 600 people on the outlying island of Nias. "Maybe it is a kind of domino effect," Rizal said. Scientists on Wednesday raised the alert level for Anak Krakatoa and Tangkuban Prahu - which regularly spew gas and rumble - from "normal" to "warning," the middle of three alert levels. This means the volcanoes are declared off-limits to hikers, but authorities are not ordering the evacuation of villagers living on their slopes. The exodus from the slopes of Talang in Sumatra reflects the nervousness of people living on the island, the northern tip of which was devastated by the Dec. 26 earthquake and tsunami. Rumors spread by mobile phone text messages warning of more earthquakes, tsunami and volcanic eruptions have added to panic on the island. The 9,186-foot mountain was spewing ash 1,640 feet into the air Wednesday, but not as high as a day earlier, when the clouds reached 3,280 feet, said Surono, from a government-run volcanology center in Bandung, West Java province. ap.tbo.com

John Seach has just reported that Talang Volcano in Indonesia has just erupted. The eruption sent ash to 25,000 ft. Mr. Seach had earlier (on April 10th) placed Talang volcano along with Barren Island (Andaman Islands), and Sumatra volcanoes Peuet Sague, Telong, Toba, Sorikmarapi, Marapi, Tandikat, Kerinci, Kaba, Dempo, and Krakatoa on a watch list following after the two large quakes that hit Sumatra in Sunday. In addition, on Monday a 6.5 quake hit near Papua New Guinea where the active volcano Manam is located. And yesterday a 6.8 quake hit near the Vanuatu islands where several active volcanos are located. You may read more details on this updates at volcanolive.com. thedivinesibyl.com
