Friday, November 5, 2010, there was a very powerful eruption of Merapi. Previously, it has been reported that the alert status of Merapi. However, the communities around Mount Merapi was still undergoing the usual activities. When Friday's early morning eruption occurred trim greater than ever. Previously, only it was raining ash, but as of Friday morning it was raining gravel for half an hour. The rain has also hit the gravel until the Jogjakarta area that were located about 50 KM from Merapi, really very powerful. After a rain of gravel, followed by rain water is very swift.

At 23:00 pm I got a message from my relatives who served in the area Cangkringan that the trim is very dangerous circumstances, at that time there has been rain gravel, is expected to reach the farthest distance, about 50 km from Merapi. And in fact, at 24.00 o'clock in the morning it was raining gravel Sanat powerful in the region sauya, Turi Sleman. Moments later it was raining very swift water, electricity was dead. Not long after the trees around my house toppled. I see the situation outside, and it all changed at once, all blanketed by Abu is very thick and a lot of the uprooted trees and become damaged.
At that time my family decided to evacuate tomorrow morning at grandpa's house, Bantul, Jogjakarta. At that Kani take turns sleeping so I can anticipate if something happens. Once morning comes, I have to tidy up all the equipment I carry. We went to evacuate at 11.00 after Friday prayers, we use the family car. Arriving in Bantul us soon smoothed our equipment.
