'Thick columns of ash have turned several villages to darkness.' Searing lava flows are pouring from Mount Semeru on the Indonesian island of Java, after heavy rains collapsed the lava dome and triggered an eruption. At least one villager died from burns.
Mount Semeru’s eruption in Lumajang district in East Java province left several villages blanketed with falling ash.
He said flows of searing gas and lava traveled up to 800 meters to a nearby river at least twice on Saturday. People were advised to stay 5 kilometers from the crater’s mouth, the agency said. The debris and lava mixed with the rainfall formed thick mud that destroyed the main bridge connecting Lumajang and the neighboring district of Malang, as well as a smaller bridge, Haq said.
