Since the first small eruption of steam & ash 4 days ago there has been little activity except a 700m high plume. But today after heightened seismic activity starting last night there was a 2nd more violent eruption with a much more dense ash ejection shooting 1,500m into the sky.

Watch this video I put together moments ago and you will see inside our erupting volcano with recent drone footage.
There is a live feed on YouTube which I have been watching consistently. It is raining season here at the moment so the volcano is usually only visible in the mornings (9h from now).
Just hit the play button below to see the live feed.
Beneath is a shot of Agung I took earlier this year. She is a real monster.
Wind Direction is key!
For now the wind direction is still good, with the toxic ash being mostly blown out to see, avoiding the populated area of south Bali.
Let us hope this wind prediction for next Saturday is not accurate. Or myself (living in Ubud) and a bunch of other people living in the South are going to experience some very interesting times.

For now everyone is safe and well prepared for this.
I will do my best to keep you informed on events as they unfold...
Please follow the account where those of us in Bali are currently raising money to buy solar power & water filters for the huge number of evacuees created by this volcano LEARN MORE HERE
On Monday we will be cashing out over $400 of Steem and SBD thanks to you and investing it into solar kits. I will be documenting the whole journey from Steem to the smiling faces of these Balinese people π
