Our country is experiencing terrible natural disaster. Starting from Wasior floods in west Papua, October 4, that caused more than 200 people died. Then the floods that hit the capital city, Jakarta. On October 25, continuous rain since day until night causing Jakarta can't avoid floods and making a great traffic jam ever in 2010. Many people got stuck on the street until late night and the police cannot do something much about it. The angry people release their feeling by cursing the governor or make cruel jokes about him ^.^

At the night in the same day, there's an 7.4 magnitude earthquake occurred in Mentawai archipelago, west Sumatera, causing 12 meters tsunami that swept hundreds of people. About 300 people died and more than 400 people missing. Material losses are incalculable. Aftershocks continue to occur until today but in smaller scale. Right now, the institution I'm working at is sending 4 ship that carry the aids for the disaster victim.

Then, in October 26, Merapi volcano in center of Java is erupted. People near the volcano are too late to evacuate themselves although the government is already warn them about the danger of eruption. They believe in "mountain keeper", Mbah Maridjan, who said that Merapi won't erupt. When the volcano is finally erupt, 15 people died because of extreme heat clouds (wedhus gembel) along with Mbah Maridjan, and it's still continued. Hundreds of people suffered burns or respiratory problems. Volcanic ashes is spread through many miles.

God, please bless us all...
