The Watchers – by Adonai

Indonesia’s Mount Sinabung erupted early February 9, 2015 sending ash up to 4 km into the air. Aviation Color Code has been raised to Orange.

At 03:32 UTC today, plume was extending 31 km to the west, according to Darwin VAAC.

At 13:21 UTC, the agency reported volcanic ash is not identifiable on satellite imagery due to meteorological cloud and darkness, but is still expected in area.  

A large pyroclastic flow was observed coming down from the top of the volcano.
