First it did, now it didn’t. Mt. Kelud did not erupt afterall. Another SNAFU.
This from the BBC:
Indonesia’s Mount Kelud volcano has not erupted, government scientists have said, contradicting an earlier statement that it had.
Monitoring instruments had indicated an eruption, but it could not be visually confirmed because of heavy cloud cover.
Escalating tremors had prompted scientists monitoring the volcano near the crater to leave the mountain.
The scientists later returned to their posts to find no eruption actually occurred and their equipment undamaged.
“There was no eruption,” said Surono, a senior government volcanologist.
“If there had been an eruption, our equipment near the crater would have been damaged.”
