For the people near mount merapi-a volcano in Indonesia-Monday,October 25,2010 started like every other day.People got up. They went to school and work. Like many other days, smoke and ash came out of the volcano. Before this,scientists told the people near the mountain to leave their homes. However,they didn't want to leave. That morning,the volcano was worse. The scientists again told people to leave their homes. This time the people went to a safe place.
That afternoon,Mount Merapi erupted three time. Hot lava and rocks went down the mountain. A lot of ash went into the air. Because of the ash,people could not see the mountain.
After the eruption,people went back to their homes. There was ash in their rooms. There were no trees or other plants. It was terrible. The people were very happy they left their homes before the eruption.
