After two months of waiting it has finally happened. Please don't panic however as it is currently just a plume of smoke thought to contain only a small amount of the ash which can potentially harm people. The above picture was taken just before nightfall.
It is classified as 'phreatic' meaning that it was a steam-driven explosion which occurs when the water beneath is heated by molten rock and forces its way out.
The wind direction is currently south/south east but should that change to south west there will be many more people affected. Including myself!
In this image you can see the exact location of our highest peak, Mount Agung from which there is currently a 700m high smoke plume.
The official alert status remains at level 3 as there have not been any corresponding earthquakes. Level 4 is the highest.
I saw with my own eyes a beautiful view of Agung this morning at 8am on a flight from Bali to Kuala Lumpur. There was no smoke at this time and all appeared calm. I have just returned to Bali an hour ago so I can confirm the international airport is still open.
so many of these people will now be returning to the shelters.
