Mother Nature continues to speak on planet Earth. In the early hours of this Monday, the eruption of the Sinabung volcano in Indonesia was reported, which unfolded a column of ash that exceeded seven kilometers in height, leaving the town of Sumatra in darkness at midday.
In previous days, a series of eruptions had already been reported on the mountain, although none were similar to the size of this day.
Due to this natural phenomenon, it was declared a Red Hazard for aviation near the place due to the large fumarole that was created in the sky. In addition to reporting as strong the ashfall in the surrounding towns.
This volcanic activity was recorded at noon in Indonesia, but due to smoke and ash in the air, it hid the sunlight in the towns near the Sinabung volcano, making it appear that it was night again or sooner than expected.
So far no consequences have been reported to regret after this event; just a lot of cars, houses, and streets full of the ash that blew out the geological structure.
