Residents witnessed the average time Gendol material covered the eruption of Mount Merapi in Hamlet Bonggang, Argomulyo Village, District Cangkringan, Sleman, Yogyakarta, on Saturday (11/06/2010).
SLEMAN, KOMPAS.com - Upstream Gendol River in the territory of Cangkringan, Sleman, which is about 5 km from the summit of Merapi, turned into mountains after buried by volcanic material spewed out of Merapi on Thursday (11/04/2010) night.
"Before the buried, the river is wide and deep, about as deep as 30 meters. As the gap when viewed from the river bank," said Suwarjo (42), local residents, who leave the refugee camps to visit their homes.
When Between visited the location on Saturday (06/11/2010) afternoon and watch the river upstream from a distance of 5 meters, Suwarjo shouted to warn that the material was still contain coal.
For outsiders, not residents Cangkringan, Gendol river phenomenon was astonishing. There was no sign at all that under thousands of tons of lava that there is a deep river ravine. The smell of sulfur wafted sting in this dangerous region.
In the vicinity of the upstream river township residents have already fled. The roof of the houses and the leaves of large trees covered with ash and sand.
Salak garden destroyed, in ruins. Cangkringan a dead area, with massive damage.
Regions that have slopes of Merapi destruction everywhere Glagaharjo happening in the Village. Along the road to the summit of Merapi, the trees falling. Of concrete power poles broken. Iron telephone poles collapsed, making the channel frayed wires.
Some houses looked a mess. "The rain of sand mixed lava / lava make things like this," said a local resident who was turned home.
Scenery in Cangkringan who suffered damage everywhere it feels magical. All the big trees can be uprooted or broken branches. The leaves of palm trees limp dull brown after rain hit the sand and lava. Salak plantation messy. Corn dull just pile on the embankment.
However, the new stretch of paddy sowing, the new feet four inches tall, completely intact with a refreshing green color.
"Bizarre. Big tree falling. Rice is emerging as Merapi lava untouched," commented a man who drove into the area between the death.
Field observations in Glagaharjo that did not last long because a volunteer who came immediately reminded to stay away from the peak of Merapi.
Sound of rain accompanied by wind gelegak like boiling water, which comes from the belly of Merapi, the more aware that Merapi could vomit at any time.
Activist-volunteer rescue victims of Merapi was like getting to know nature of Merapi. He immediately pulled his motorcycle and drove away the spring from the peak of Merapi. He did not want to race against the speed of Merapi lava by geologists likened it as tight as a Formula One car.
Bizarre. Big tree falling. The new rice growing is like untouched Merapi lava.
