believe it or not that is also making things. while the atmosphere iraq down here no pun intended not sin among over there and western portions of sumatra this is old was actually taken by colleague of mine here today and i've just some absolutely amazing. photos coming out of here in the key thing in the note those evacuation order well ahead of this is an act of all people so people know it's been a rough but two of the pyro classic flows coming down in them this is just about power later this is not a rain cloud believe it or not this is an ash cloud that sometimes the adults we get these large volcanoes exploding in. actually the same as falling almost like snow on coming out of this so that gas was going on fighting it was a blast now the good news as far as the forecast is concerned you not see any rain showers were that was in the northeast monsoon dominating the reason why it's good you get the rain mixed in with the task. this will create the crisco we call the heart and that costs is just absolutely destruction and really a big threat for damage out there if you get the flights mixed in with
