Worst Scenario Possible
Starting from 26th Oct 2010, Merapi erupted for the first time. People predicted it would be just like the 2006 eruption, where one major eruption followed by minor ones. Not now, unfortunatelly. This volcano “rested” just for one day or two, then followed by unpredictable bigger eruption from the first, the 4th Nov – 5th Nov eruption, just before midnight.
The game began when the experts predicted the wrong phenomena. The casualties is big enough to punish the mistake, more than 70 died of pyroclastic flow. Although at that time, the village that was struck by the pyroclastic flow was more 15 km from the volcano, and more than the radius of 10 km of evacuation zone in 26th Oct 2010. Then it was raised to 15 km, then to 20 km.
Search and Rescue team with addition personals from the Indonesian Army started to do evacuations on the villages, and search and rescue in the villages struck by the pyroclastic flow. Again it is a game of life and death. SAR team raced against the time and death. A fatal impact might happen when there is a little mistake of predicting the volcano. 4 deaths of the SAR team, Ariatno, Samiyo, Supriyadi, dan Supriyanto are the names of the victims of the pyrocastic flow.
Now, how will the the coordinator of the SAR team, and the people play the “game” with Merapi? There was just an explosion around 23.20, when I was writing this blog. How will it ends tomorrow? No one knows.
Now, let us think of the worst scenario possible. A sleep for a few days may cause a bigger explosion, for the energy will be accumulated, and released at a high level. So, many experts hope for a continuous explosion at a low level like this, rather than a bigger explosion later. The casualties if it happens? This is how it would work. This volcano sleeps for a few days, while it is accumulating the energy, the people around Merapi would go back to their villages. Unpredictable explosion and a slow evacuation, added by bad visual contact like previous explosions could cause a very big damage. Many people would die, like the 5th Nov exlplosion.
Economic loss could be earned again later on, but life loss can not be tolerated. People should stay aware, while not believing hoax that could provoke an unnecessary chaos. As long as the search and rescue team work fast and alerted, it would be very dangerous.
These things and much worse will continue to happen as Yahweh, our God and Creator pours out His wrath upon mankind leading up to Armageddon. It is His will that you all know exactly where it is coming from.
Matthew 10:34 “Don’t assume that I came to bring peace on the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.”
Exodus 15:3 “The LORD is a warrior; Yahweh is His name.”
“There will be no peace on Earth until My Son’s Kingdom. I will crush every kingdom now standing and rock the earth off its foundation. I Yahweh will destroy every enemy to My throne, and who can stop Me? Who can turn back My anger? No one.” – Yahweh
Thank you for your comment.
Unfortunately what I believe is, God doesn’t pour His wrath upon us. Long before the mankind exists in this world, there are volcanoes, even larger than these days. It is a mechanism that exists long before the very first living creature exists. It is the mankind’s fault, not to live side by side with those catastrophe. Death is the penalty.
So as long as God still loves us and let us live in the world, these things will still exists.
