Because there was a warning that pieces of the volcano could fall into the sea and trigger a tsunami, a warship and a rescue ship were sent to assist in moving hundreds of people from nearby Tagulandang island north to Siau island.
95-year-old Rosalin Salindeho, who lives in Tagulandang in the province of North Sulawesi, Indonesia’s most remote area, talked of her concerns when Ruang erupted after she got to Siau.
“There was an explosion in the mountain. Whoa, that was awful. Rocks were raining down. Two times. “The second one was very strong; it even struck distant houses,” she remarked.
On Wednesday morning, the nation’s meteorological service (BMKG) released a map demonstrating that volcanic ash has spread to eastern Malaysia on Borneo island, which it shares with Brunei and Indonesia.
The head of the Mount Ruang monitoring site, Julius Ramopolii, said that on Wednesday morning, the volcano was still spewing smoke and ash above the crater.
“The volcano is visibly seen, the plume of smoke is visible, grey and thick, and reached 500m to 700m above the crater,” he added in a press release.
He urged residents to stay outside of a 7 km exclusion zone and stated that the alert level, which is part of a four-tiered system, was still at its highest.
The recent experiences informed the anxieties about tsunamis.
