From Times Wire Reports
Hundreds of tremors rocked a deadly Indonesian volcano today in signs that a powerful eruption could be imminent, scientists said. The intensity and frequency of the tremors at Mt. Kelud already exceed those in the days preceding the last time it blew its top in 1990, killing more than 30 people.
More than 100,000 people living in areas considered at risk were ordered from their homes when the highest alert level for the peak was declared more than two weeks ago, but many never left or have since returned.
