In Bali, more than 1,22,500 people have left the region around the Mount Agung volcano, fearing it will soon erupt. Villagers began leaving in the middle of last week, and the number of evacuees has swelled daily since Friday, when the volcano's alert status was raised to the highest level. <br/><br/>An exclusion zone around the mountain extends to 12 kilometers from the crater, but officials say people farther from the volcano are also leaving. The disaster mitigation agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho today said the chances of an eruption are "quite big," although experts can't predict when with certainty. Mount Agung last erupted in 1963, killing more than 1,100 people.
