The observation post revealed that as of 6 a.m. local time on Wednesday, it recorded 94 instances of volcanic tremor, while in the previous day, 427 tremors were recorded.

 

“Although its quake activity was not as sharp as two days ago, there were 480 seconds of tremor. The epicenter of the quake is located only 2 kilometers from the surface and the depth of magma is only 5 km; hence, all people must stay alert,” said an observation post official.

Bali is hard at evacuation. Animals are fleeing and it's looking like the real deal.

At least these people respect the volcano and leave.

 

A 200m (656 ft)-tall column of smoke was seen rising from Mt. Agung on Sunday, said the chief geologist monitoring the site, Gede Suantika.

 

“We observed sulphuric smoke spewing from its crater and we never saw this before,” said Suantika.
