Have a feeling this is more at 'fault' for this than a radio transmitter in Alaska.

Molucca Sea

The sea is a very seismically active area due to the Molucca Sea Plate.

You are probably right, however HARRP is still a reality as are it's uses.

Don't you just love disinformation/Suppression tactics, ridiculing others is a number one tactic. it's amazing how many people on ATS engage in it and fall for it. Nice video by the way - it really did put a smile on my face


Back to the topic at hand -

Indonesia warned Monday that its most volatile volcano could erupt at any time and started evacuating some of the thousands of villagers living on the mountain's slope.

Mount Merapi has seen increased volcanic activity over the past week and officials have raised the alert level for the 9,737-foot (2,968-meter) -high mountain to the most urgent level, said government volcanologist Surono, who uses only one name.

The mountain last erupted in 2006, when it sent an avalanche of blistering gases and rock fragments racing down the mountain that killed two people. A similar eruption in 1994 killed 60 people, while 1,300 people died in an eruption in 1930.

Oh I agree wholeheartedly. I didn't imply that HAARP was the cause of this EQ or the volcano. The volcano has been erupting for months and earthquakes have been shaking the earth around Indonesia in an increasing amount, Since 2004 and even before that.

I just disagree with people who have to ridicule, there is no need for it. Just stating like you have "It's unlikely to be HAARP" is perfectly sound and just, and a good point. You haven't ridiculed, just pointed out some good facts and logic. Ridiculing or any other narcissistic retorts to keep people away from truth is wrong.

As for the EQ it isn't located near enough (I don't believe) to the Volcano erupting. I just hope based on the below, that they can move all the villagers to a safe location before she blows. I feel sorry for the people of Indonesia, they have been through a lot. When this thing blows, are they going to have houses left, food? it saddens me. There are five villages and 40,000 people living on its slopes.

DISASTER relief officials have activated plans to evacuate as many as 40,000 people from around Indonesia's most active volcano, Merapi in central Java.
Local officials are fearing a major eruption.

Authorities yesterday morning raised the eruption alert level to red, the highest.

They began evacuating about 2600 people by buses, pick-up trucks and ambulances from two villages, Kaliurang and Kemiran, likely to be in the path of pyroclastic gas and lava flows.

"All the parameters - multiface earthquakes, cone deformation and visual - increased significantly overnight," Fabri Sadana, of the Jogjakarta-based Centre for Volcano Investigation and Technology Development, said yesterday. "The volcanic activity looks . . . as if the eruption will be bigger than 2006."

Well that's it kicked off for sure now. It's very dark over here in South East Asia - more so on Java.

I hope they get people out and contain them safely.

It's just a matter of watching and hoping now that it doesn't get worse - it's right at the beginning of tourist season over there too just now and so I expect we'll get global news from it as tourists will be in the area.

Tsunamis are the main worry for that area - that and the villages you mentioned on the slopes.

It is really so awful for the people there, and tourists , some of them at least, won't know quite what to do , especially parents with children, I know I would be in a state of panic! not to mention the fact that the Indonesian people are not rich folk, they are simple and don't have a lot in the way of money. The Government should have started the evacuation a day or two ago, they knew it was going to blow this week

The U.S. Geological Survey says the 7.5-magnitude temblor struck at a depth of 20 miles (30 kilometers) and is centered on a small island off the coast of Sumatra, where a massive earthquake and tsunami hit in 2004.

Same place as 2004! this isn't good at all.

It's very dark over here in South East Asia - more so on Java.

Can I ask what you meant here? thanks

It's night time here in Thailand.

Sun sets on Java at 6PM and it's now 10:36PM there now.

This could potentially be worse than the 2006 Earthquake that happened around the same region, only that was during the day and not in total darkness.

I am hoping things don't go too badly there but the 2006 Tsunami never made global news - but I saw it's effects first hand with the people of Pangandaran.

That's what I mean about it being dark here now. No lights and high chance of danger.

Thanks.

It must have been terrible to see the destructive results of that time.

As for now being in complete darkness will be catastrophic if there is another quake or tsunami, not to mention the volcano. They are completely unprepared.

I really hope and pray , everything there quietens down and things do not escalate, but in this case I think it's likely to get worse

Ok so you are in Thailand? Have you noted any strange animal behaviors? Are you yourself experiencing and unusual sensations ?

Nope - everything is hunky dory here at the moment. Thailand is pretty much volcano and, where I am on the coast, Tsunami proof.

The dogs, cats and various things that live in my garden all seem fine.

Mind you I am the other side of a huge area of sea away from it and so am unlikely to feel any effects from it.

I'll update you though as I am on the beach here - and will be sleeping soon. So gimme 7 hours till I get back to you
