kelud mountain ashDDHK News, Indonesia - Mount Kelud's ash almost 'watered' the entire Central and East Java region. The thickness of the dust even reaches 10 cm.

Several photos sent toasangmata.com, Friday (14/2/2013), show various locations affected by the volcanic ash of Mount Kelud. Some residents were seen to be still active despite the dust.

At Adisumarmo Airport, Solo, you can see an airplane whose entire fuselage is covered with snow-white ash. The airport in Solo, based on the information from the Ministry of Transportation, is temporarily closed.

Then in the city center of Yogyakarta, precisely on Jalan Malioboro, you can see the road is filled with volcanic ash from Mount Kelud. Several residents were seen turning on vehicle lights due to reduced visibility.

In Kediri, East Java, some residents are still walking and doing activities even though the volcanic ash of Mount Kelud is still falling. It appears that residents still have not used a mask covering their nose to guard against attacks of shortness of breath and other respiratory problems.

Ash rain has continued to fall from the top of Mount Kelud since Thursday night. The first eruption occurred at around 22.50 WIB and the second and largest eruption occurred around 23.30 WIB. (detik.com). *
