Hello Teakai!

First post here.

Lucky for these guys the bubbling emanations do not seem to be toxic or lethal.

In any case, I would say it's about time for them to pack the bug-out bag.

I agree, Amzer. As I was watching all the little bubbles popping up through the ground I wonder if the whole thing might not collapse at any moment - and that gushing thing doesn't look like stopping anytime soon.

JAKARTA, Indonesia – One of Indonesia's most active volcanos has erupted, sending lava and searing gas clouds tumbling down its slopes.

Volcanology official Agus Budianto said Friday that authorities were still trying to evacuate residents living along the slopes of Mount Karangetang.

There were no immediate reports of injuries or serious damage.

The 5,853-foot (1,784-meter) mountain is located on Siau, part of the Sulawesi island chain. It last erupted in August, killing four people.
