Today though we heard people out & about in the village and so we too decided to go out. The main roads had less ash - because they were being used but dusty it was. So Nick & I covered out faces with the handkerchief and that helped - we felt like a bunch of hoodlums! Ha! Are we planning to rob a bank? Never thought I would be doing the 'bad guy" look!
It was dusty all right, and also the sky... still...grayish...can you see it too?
Notice the roads?
Some people had taken a pail and cleared off their area in front of their shops!
Not as busy out there as it can be - but the people of Indonesia have experienced these eruptions before and Mt Marapi which is very close by Salatiga, erupted 2 years ago!
Mt Marapi is no more the 50 km from here I think!
Many had their masks on too! This stuff is not good to inhale!
We have been praying for rain - and this evening around 5:30 pm it began to rain...it was a good rain for around an hour+ and it will do an initial job of getting the dust out of the air and clean up the roads a bit...but we need lots more rain! Especially in the vicinity of the eruption!
So please continue to PRAY for Indonesia! Thank you ALL!
