Antelmus Paulus, 67, is in despair after the eruption on Tuesday of Indonesia's Ruang volcano rendered his home on Tagulandang island uninhabitable and prompted authorities to evacuate more than 12,000 people.

The Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation has also warned of a potential tsunami triggered by volcanic material collapsing into the ocean. Video shared by Indonesia's disaster agency showed lightning flashing above Ruang's crater when it erupted on Tuesday. Sulce and Antelmus are awaiting evacuation to Manado, the capital of North Sulawesi province in the north-central region of the sprawling Indonesian archipelago.
