Earth Signs: Violent Lahar Descends From Semeru Volcano Destroying Everything In Its Path


Violent lahar descends from Semeru volcano destroying everything on its path in Indonesia (video)





This violent mudflow composed of a slurry of pyroclastic material, rocky debris and water destroyed everything on its path while descending the slopes of Semeru volcano in East Java, Indonesia.

The second video shows the widespread damage in the region:


It looks like a dam built in an effort to divert the flow of lava away from residential areas and agricultural areas Level II (Waspada) at Semeru broke down. Could this be the culprit of this amazing lahar? here a video:

So the origin is pretty much unknown. Normally, such lahars are triggered by heavy rains, but this one may have been caused by this dam breach.








A swarm of big earthquakes (M6.0M6.1M7.7M6.1M6.1) and their aftershocks are currently hitting southeast of the Loyalty Islands in the Pacific Ocean. Hopefully the subduction won’t rupture today.

Volcanoes along the Ring of Fire have currently no rest and explode continuously. Latest example, the Sakurajima in Japan. Watch the epic video here. Yesterday I also reported the Pacaya (Guatemala) and the Etna (Italy).

But be aware of lahars, they can be very dangerous… Last example at Semeru volcano in Indonesia:

Imagine raindrops the size of boulders, scorching hot, falling from clouds of plasma 100,000 kilometers overhead. It's happening right now on the sun and was captured by Apollo Lasky in Naperville, Illinois:


Meanwhile in Europe, the arctic beast will bring dangerous temperatures across the Old Continent. And hundreds had to sleep in their cars after being blocked on a highway in Germany!

From warm to cold… The polar vortex sweeping across Canada has brocken several cold (extreme cold) temperature records. And yes -50°C (-64°F) is truly terrifying!
