Sorry for my absence lately... Life's been hectic and I am getting busier in my growing rooftop garden. Plus early in the morning of November 24th, my city received a downpour of volcanic ashes from Mt. Sinabung which is only 80 km away. I had to do some emergency action by moving all my tomato seedlings inside, and the next couple of days were filled with cleaning the ashes off my rooftop. Mt. Sinabung has been considered as an active stratovolcano type B which means active but not dangerous, because it has been dormant since its last eruption in 1600 but has now been considered as 'alert' since August 2010, when it started to erupt and spit out lava up to now where it has been erupting on and off.
Many people, mostly farmers, living within 5 km around the mountain were evacuated to safer places/shelters. It was also reported about last week that the heavy downpour had send out cold lava which destroyed houses and farms. Praying for the indisplaced people, may this be away soon and they'll be able to go home and continue their lives a.s.a.p.
