Eruption!

Eruption!More than 30,000 people living in Sumatra, Indonesia,were forced from their homes last week after theMount Sinabung volcano erupted.The 8,000-foot volcano had been dormant for 400years. "We didnt know anything until it startedrumbling," said Imam Simulingga, a scientist who studiesvolcanoes.Local farmers fear the thick layer of ash left by the blastcould destroy their crops. "Theres not going to be aharvest this year," said farmer Betta Tarigan. Scientistsdont know if the volcano will erupt again.

RecordFloods

Big floods hit the Land Down Under last week.Overflowing rivers in northeastern Australia cutoff major highways, destroyed crops andflooded more than 20 cities and towns in thestate of Queensland. At least 200,000 peoplewere affected by the floodwaters, which peakedon January 5.The flood damage will cost Australia billions ofdollars. "This is a major natural disaster, andrecovery will take a significant amount of time,"said Australias Prime Minister, Julia Gillard.

The disaster began on December 25, when a cyclone hitAustralias northeast coast. Days of heavy rain causedrivers to overflow. The flood spread across an area thesize of France and Germany. In the coastal city ofRockhampton, the river rose to 30 feet. Residents werewarned to stay away from floodwaters. The fast-movingwater was strong enough to sweep cars away. Snakesand crocodiles were spotted in the water. Thefloodwaters could take a month to dry up.The flood is having an impact around the world.Queensland exports half the worlds coal that is used tomake steel. Most of the states coalfields are unable tooperate, forcing a rise in coal prices.
