While around the world people are gathering with families for the holidays, Indonesia is under attack by mother nature. About 6pm EST, the Krakatau volcano began erupting violently and caused a large tsunami to strike the Java Coast of Indonesia. The volcano eruption triggered an underwater landslide which caused the tsunami.

Reporting indicates that at least 43 have been killed and over 600 injured. Videos have now come out showing the destruction to the Indonesian coastline. One particularly scary video shows a K-Pop concert being held in a tend on the shore area. Without any notice at all, the concert is washed away by the rushing tsunami.
