Increased activity has been noticed at Semeru volcano in Indonesia. From the 6th of February to the 4th of March 2009 there have been 873 explosion earthquakes. There is an average of about 34 events each day. Semeru has been reported to have been making booming noises as its events occur.
Sermeru is at a level 2 of 4 alert watch. Explosions have been occurring in intervals of about 20 and 30 minutes. So far the erruptions have not been accompanied by pyroclastic flows, however scientists are still afraid that it might occur. Scientists are worried about the near by villages of Rowo Baung and Supit, for they could be negatively affected by the explosions. residents should be prepared for possible ash fall. Also air crafts should be on the look out for explosions and ash emissions.
