TANAH KARO, Indonesia – An Indonesian volcano shot black ash three miles into the air early today – its most powerful eruption since springing back to life after four centuries of dormancy.
The force of Mount Sinabung’s explosion could be felt five miles (eight kilometers) away.
“This one was really terrifying,” said Anissa Siregar, 30, as she and her two sleepy children arrived by truck at an emergency shelter near the base, adding that the whole mountain shook violently for at least three minutes. “It just keeps getting worse.”
