More than 11,000 people were asked to evacuate the area around Indonesia’s Mount Ruang volcano after it started erupting Tuesday.

The first eruption of the Mount Ruang volcano in the North Sulawesi Province of Indonesia started Tuesday before at least five more eruptions rolled through Wednesday, according to The Associated Press (AP). As the eruption of white-gray smoke continued throughout Thursday, authorities ordered some 11,000 people to evacuate. Only 800 people have chosen to leave at the time of writing.
