In the Caribbean, a heavy ash fall has blanketed Saint Vincent and the Grenadines after a long-dormant volcano suddenly began erupting on Friday.
Robertson Henry: “People looked up, and there is this huge plume of ash hanging in the sky, silent, deadly, dreadful, ominous.”
The eruption sparked outages of water and power across Saint Vincent, and more than 16,000 people evacuated their homes. There have been no reports of deaths or injuries, but geologists warn the volcano could still trigger deadly “pyroclastic flows” of lava, ash and volcanic gases.
