#MountRuang, located in in North #Sulawesi Province, first erupted at 9:45pm (13:45 GMT) on Tuesday sending billowing clouds of smoke and ash high into the sky.
Officials worry that part of the #volcano could collapse into the sea and cause a #tsunami as it did during a previous eruption in 1871 (#Krakatoa).
Al is an artistic polymath I knew in late 80s DC when he was king of alt-nightlife in #AdamsMorgan. We met and became friends at his rooftop #KitschyTiki bar, #Krakatoa Lounge.
Al liked my pictures and gave me confidence when I was just beginning to shoot with intention.
I learned this minute he's Art Critic at #NewArtExaminer in #Phoenix. Because of course he is! 😊
"It was 👉the most powerful volcanic eruption on earth since #Krakatoa in 1883. 👈"
"👉Typically, volcanic eruptions cool the surface of the earth👈 in the same way as extra #sulphur#emissions from #ships – it shades the surface of the earth. "
"👉Water is a #GreenhouseGas like carbon dioxide👉, so more of that in the #stratosphere warms the surface of the planet.
