Flights were postponed until further notice due to a volcano that has the potential to erupt. Almost 30,000 people have already left the area around Mount Agung since it began erupting on Saturday. Indonesia's National Agency for Disaster Management maintained a Level 4 alert, mandating no public activities within 10 kilometers of the peak. More than 50,000 domestic and international passengers have been stranded by the eruption. Ash began spewing from Agung after it erupted three times on Saturday, beginning at around 5.30 p.m. local time. More eruptions followed on Sunday, with a "medium-pressure" event in the early evening.
I think that this volcano in Bali is fairly inconvenient however, you cannot stop Mother Nature. This volcano has ash spewing out and it’s nasty. I believer that people need to flee from Bali and take shelter as soon as possible. Volcanos are unexpectable. To all the tourists that went to Indonesia to see Bali I feel very bad for them and I will keep them in my prayers always.

However, the issue then becomes how to evacuate people off the island if the airport is closed.
