Erupting volcano and violent tsunami leave trail of death in Indonesia

PADANG (Indonesia): Rescuers are frantically searching for survivors after a tsunami smashed into an island chain and a volcano erupted in a wet and fiery twin disaster that has left hundreds dead and thousands homeless.
The death toll from the tsunami, triggered by a 7.7-magnitude earthquake off the west coast of Sumatra, rose to 272 late on Monday while 30 people have been confirmed dead after Mount Merapi erupted in central Java on Tuesday evening.
Other developments:
>       Sixty-eight Malaysians studying at a religious institution have been evacuated to Solo.
>       The dead from the Mount Merapi eruption includes the volcano’s “guardian” who refused to abandon his post.
>       Over 42,000 evacuated to temporary shelters around Yogyakarta but there are fears over the fate of thousands more.
>       Tuesday’s eruption is said to have eased pressure building up behind a lava dome on the volcano’s crater. But experts warn the dome could still collapse.
