In a follow up to yesterday’s news on the erupting Mount Merapi near Yogjakarta in Indonesia, at least 193 residents living near or on the lower slopes of Mount Merapi have returned to their homes in the past 24 hours. Nearly 250 had been evacuated in recent days as the active volcano continued rumbling and erupting ash and rock, kilometres into the sky. Villages “around the mountain, on Wednesday night, said that the sounds coming from the mountain were very loud. But officials now say it’s safe for people living on the slopes of Merapi to return to their homes. Mount Merapi spewed hot clouds that rose 2 kilometres southeast and emitted incandescent lava seven times, with a maximum sliding distance of 1,800 meters to the southwest of the active crater.
