The graphs that show why Bali's Mt Agung volcano could erupt at any minute, as 75,000 flee

Posted: 26 Sep 2017 02:11 AM PDT

The graphs that show why Bali's Mt Agung volcano could erupt at any minute, as 75,000 fleeVehicles laden with food, masks and bedding have been dispatched to help more than 75,000 people who have fled a volcano on the tourist island of Bali, as rising magma and increased tremors fuel fears of an imminent eruption. Mount Agung, about 75 kilometres (47 miles) from the Indonesian tourist hub of Kuta, has been rumbling since August, threatening to erupt for the first time since 1963. "The chance that an eruption will happen is quite big. But it cannot be predicted when it will happen," Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, spokesman for the disaster mitigation agency, said. The increased frequency of tremors shows the magma continuing to move towards the surface, with the mountain entering a "critical phase", the spokesman said. The Indonesian Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation said there has been an increase in volcanic tremors, with a total of 564 recorded Monday. The first chart below shows  the energy created by these tremors, while the second shows the frequency of tremors, increasing dramatically since the start of September.  A graph showing the energy created by tremors near Mt Agung Credit: MAGMA Indonesia A graph showing the frequency of tremors near Mt Agung Credit: MAGMA Indonesia Evacuees have packed into temporary shelters or moved in with relatives. Some 2,000 cows have also been evacuated from the flanks of the volcano. Balinese residents, international NGOs and the government have begun organising aid. Vehicles filled with noodles, mineral water and blankets have been sent to the evacuation centres, while residents around the island have been collecting donations for those affected. Bali's "sister village" programme and tradition of communal assistance means evacuees have been able to stay in villages outside the danger zone.

The agency's spokesman, Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, said evacuees are spread across more than 370 locations on the island and their numbers are continuing to rise. I Ketut Subandi, head of logistics at the village of Tana Ampo, said basic food items like rice, instant noodles, cooking oil and water were most needed. "This morning we were worried because we had limited rice supply, but now we have received more rice stocks from donors," Subandi said. Indonesia's national disaster agency has dispatched 640,000 face masks, 12,500 mattresses, 8,400 blankets, 50 tents, and has a budget of $75,000 for assistance. The central government has set aside a relief fund of nearly $150 million in case of an eruption. A villager watches Mount Agung volcano in his field in Amed, Bali, Indonesia, Tuesday, Sept. 26, 2017 Credit: AP Officials announced the highest possible alert level on Friday due to the increasing volcanic activity, and told people to stay at least nine kilometres away from the crater. "Our preparedness will be the key for the mitigations of volcanic risks," Devy Kamil, a senior official at Indonesia's Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation, told AFP. Trekking tours on the mountain have been cancelled by operators but officials have otherwise been at pains to assure tourists the island is safe. The airport in Bali's capital Denpasar, through which millions of foreign tourists pass every year, has not been affected, but several countries including Australia and Singapore have put out a travel advisory. Mount Agung is one of more than 120 active volcanoes extending the length of Indonesia, which straddles the Pacific Ring of Fire. It last erupted in 1963, killing nearly 1,600 people and sending ash as far as the capital Jakarta.

Australian snake catcher leaps to capture one of world’s most venomous snakes in incredible video

Posted: 27 Sep 2017 08:17 AM PDT

Australian snake catcher leaps to capture one of world's most venomous snakes in incredible videoA snake catcher recorded the moment he leapt from the edge of a pool to capture one of the most deadly snakes on the planet. Stuart McKenzie had spent three days fruitlessly trying to snare the huge eastern brown snake, which had taken up residence in a family garden in Sunshine Coast, in Queensland, Australia. The species is the second most venomous land snake on the planet, behind the more reclusive Inland Taipan, which is also found in Australia. Mr McKenzie leaping to capture the huge eastern brown snake Credit: Facebook/The Snake Catcher 24/7 - Sunshine Coast Mr McKenzie said every time he had tried to catch the serpent it had darted under a concrete slab in the garden. The snake had then resisted any attempt to dislodge it from underneath the slab, including when Mr McKenzie used a water hose and leaf blower. Bereft of other options, Mr McKenzie opted for a more unorthodox approach. Writing on his Facebook page, he said: "The final thing left to do was to jump off the edge of the pool and land next to him and grab him when he was out from underneath the slab. And let's just say it worked a treat." In the footage Mr McKenzie can be seen waiting for the snake to emerge before hopping down and quickly scooping up the reptile. The brown snake is seen writhing and comes close to Mr McKenzie's body on two occasions. However the professional catcher manages to keep the snake at arm's length before placing it into a bag. Snakes are a common feature in the Queensland region of Australia at this time of year. However residents of the state are being warned that a coming heatwave will see a surge in snakes coming into contact with humans. The snakes are currently in breeding season but the heat will make the cold-blooded reptiles more active than usual. Snake catchers in the state are already reporting large spikes in callouts and warning residents not to try and tackle the serpents by themselves. Australia guide
