Indonesia volcano catapults ash tower miles into sky


East Flores (Indonesia) (AFP) – Mount Lewotobi in eastern Indonesia erupts again, catapulting a tower of ash miles into the sky and forcing residents to evacuate to nearby shelters. Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki, a 1,703-metre (5,587-foot) twin-peaked volcano on the tourist island of Flores, has erupted more than a dozen times this week, killing nine people after its initial burst on Monday.
