A major eruption just occurred at the Ruang volcano, which wiped out large swaths of the inhabited island it sits on. As much as 40% of the island was scorched by pyroclastic flows within an hour, and this eruption is still continuing to intensify. Today's video discusses the evacuation of Ruang Island, the series of events which led to this eruption, and what might happen next.

I want to give a special thanks to INGVvulcani / INGV, Progetto UNO (@uno_progetto on Twitter), and Tullio Ricci for previously allowing me to use footage of a pyroclastic flow and associated small tsunami in my YouTube videos.

Luckily, it appears that everyone on the island had evacuated by the time this eruption occurred. Sorry for the heavy usage of stock footage, but I was unable to license the minimal filmed footage out there of this eruption. Also, the plume just reached 8 km height due to a recent explosion.

Dear Geology Hub: Please ignore all the commenters who have missed the clue bus and continue on with your fine work, delivering your important information in your unique voice. Lack of life experiences and disinterest in learning (taught or otherwise) causes many folks to make hasty opinions. For those wondering why I used "clue bus": anything one encounters that causes one to pause is, imo, a clue bus. Catching the bus means one investigates that thing that caused the pause before one make a comment out of ignorance. 🙂

That escalated very quickly.

Good thing everyone was evaluated from the island safely.

That is scary. Living on a volcanic island that goes boom with some regularity. Good to hear all residents are safe for now.

Another example on why monitoring is important for volcanoes near populated areas, even when there's little to no warning, better be safe than sorry

Ruang Mountain located in Siau Tagulandan & Biaro Islands Regency, North Sulawesi Province - Indonesia... I'm from North Sulawesi and we thank to your prayers and supports... May the resident in Siau Tagulandang & Biaro are always safe in the hands of God... FYI, North Sulawesi located in volcanic plate paths... so it has over 7 volcano... Now, with the eruption of Ruang Mountain... Other volcanoes were alert too, because all volcanoes in North Sulawesi were connected...

So glad that they were able to evacuate those on Ruang. I wonder where on the island people were living, if everyone lived in a single town? Has lava destroyed their homes? Hoping the best for them.
