For the 2nd time in 6.5 months, a lethal disaster sadly occurred at the erupting Mount Marapi volcano. This occurred due to heavy rainfall, which washed quickly away downslope to the prior incineration of a patch of ground due to Marapi's December 3rd eruption. As a result, a lahar with an estimated height of 30 feet was generated which damaged dozens of structures. This video explains why this lahar was generated, and the danger that so-called "secondary lahars" can generate.
