Two dead as volcanos in Indonesia begin to spew

Mt.Two hikers died today in Indonesia, hit by hot rocks being ejected from Mt. Bromo in East Java, according to the Assocaited Press. The nearby towns of Malang and Probolinggo were covered with a thin coating of ash. Some 1300 miles away, a second Indonesian volcano, in the district of Sangihe in the Indonesian province of North Sulawesi, began throwing out hot ash and belching smoke on Friday. That volcano has now forced the evacuation of about 12 thousand people from islands in the district. Sangihe is between the Indonesian island of Sulawesi and the Philippine island of Mindanao.
