Volcano thread

Another official source, tweeted about half an hour ago -- no changes, as I understand it; basically, activity continues, including weak, moderate, and strong pyroclastic flows; watch, wait, be prepared.

 
They also shared some amazing lahar footage:

 
Posted within the hour: "Fuego is back to being Fuego." Yay!

 
Spectacular eruption of Lewotobi in Indonesia a little while ago:



They must have seen this coming because authorities evacuated areas again, starting weeks ago.

VAAC advisory describes ash at 53,000 feet, per Volcano Discovery, which has earlier news links, too.
 
Here's another view. Per X translation: "Mount Lewotobi eruption this afternoon, June 17, 2025. Video taken from Pululera village which is 7 KM from the center of the eruption. Video source: Pululera Village Head."

 
Nice weather for it! :)
 
Tribun Flores has some nice shots, though shaky-cam, of the start and then some plume development:



That's a livestream, started about an hour ago -- don't know how long it will be good.

Edit: Much of the footage is replays, thus far -- good! Maybe it was just a blast, not a self-sustaining plinian eruption.

It sounds (Indonesian) as though Lewotobi is following its past pattern of an intense start and then lower-level activity.

Per browser translation, the main threat now is lahars, if and when the weather turns rainy.
