Ruang Volcano Eruption Update; New Major Eruption Occurs, Largest on Record
Jump to Connections
130,291 Views • Apr 29, 2024 • Click to toggle off description
One of the most powerful volcanic eruptions on the planet of the current decade occurred earlier today, sending a plume of ash to a height of 82,000 feet. Pyroclastic flows swept across large sectors of the Ruang volcano, and widespread ash and lapilli was deposited in sections of Indonesia. At least several hundred homes were destroyed or damaged by my own estimate via an eruption which was larger than Ruang's April 17th eruption.

I honestly was a bit surprised when the tremor rapidly shot past what was observed in the hours before the plinian eruption on April 17th. That is when I knew that it was probably going to erupt, hence my earlier community post about Ruang. Ash from the eruption has now begun falling on parts of northern Sulawesi.

For newcomers: this channel doesn't overstate its warnings. If you're in the area please take the recommended precautions immediately. Best wishes!

Even a trained professional such as this stated just 24 hrs ago this eruption was dying down. 1 day later and a larger eruption suddenly occurred with little to no warning. This is why exclusion zones are put in place even when it would appear safe.

There are very few 'pure' things left on YT, this channel is one of the few. Thanks for always keeping us updated on what those pesky rocks are up to!

After listening to his videos for a year, I think I can safely say, I've never heard him give out such warnings.. This says two things about him. 1. He cares about those that are affected by these dangerous situations. 2. He seems to be getting frustrated to the point that he is telling people to put cast iron pans on their heads and "yelling" at these to "get out of there". To those of you who are affected, he is NOT joking. "get out of there"

I hope the people on the adjacent island are okay. This is awful.

Geology Hub's warnings to people on the islands to be vigilant of tsunamis is highlighted by the fact that Japanese media are today reporting that te Japan Meteorological Agency are monitoring for any tsunamis caused by this eruption hitting the coastline of Japan. Japan is obviously thousands of kilometres away and if it is serious enough for Japan to be monitoring, those on the affected islands should be taking it a thousand times more seriously. Not only Japan of course, but I would imagine that other countries in the Pacific are also being vigilant. To most people here, this is preaching to the converted, but I write this message in the hope that someone looking for information comes across this video, watches it and sees comments like my own and heed the warnings.

Gah your videos are perfect considering the topics. Rather than creating panic or craze, you're straightforward and honest.

I hope people there learned of your earlier post, and took action before it erupted again.

I sure hope this isn't a continued build up, ala Krakatoa 1883. These island volcanoes are the scary bunch.

There’s talk (in this comments section) about this being a potential lead up to a Krakatoa-like event, but this seems to have more in common with the 91 eruption of Pinatubo (so far). That said, there’s now a question as to whether the entire series of islands actually forms the caldera for a much larger single volcano. And Indonesia’s Volcano’s really are next-level terrifying - inside a century, they had the VEI 7 1815 Tambora eruption and the VEI 6 1883 Krakatoa eruption.

WOW. Ruang just goes to show how the most dangerous volcanoes are the ones you don't expect, nobody would have thought that that random island would be capable of such intense activity just a year ago. I can't imagine that anyone will be living on Ruang island anytime soon after this. I'm really curious what the chance of a flank collapse, seawater intrusion, or caldera collapse is with this volcano, those slopes look very precarious and the eruption size combined with the ring of islands feels suspicious.
