My Way News - Indonesia's volcanic eruption claims 28 lives: "Rescuers scoured the slopes of Indonesia's most volatile volcano Wednesday after it was rocked by an eruption that spewed clouds of searing ash, killing at least 28 villagers including an old man known as the mountain's spiritual gatekeeper.
The blast eased pressure that had been building up behind a lava dome perched on the volcano's crater, but experts said the worst may not be over. The lava dome could unleash deadly gases and debris if it collapses.
'It's a little calmer today,' said Surono, the chief of Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation. 'No hot clouds, no rumbling. But a lot of energy is pent up back there. There's no telling what's next.'"
