The majority of St. Vincent and the Grenadines is without power and covered in ash on April 11, 2021, following another explosive event at La Soufriere volcano.
Volcanic ash is rising up to 16 km (52 000 feet) above sea level and extending up to 3 000 km (1 850 miles), especially to the ENE but becomes rather diffuse, the Washington VAAC reported at 00:59 UTC on April 11.
The National Emergency Management Organization (NEMO) is urging residents with respiratory problems to take necessary precautions to remain safe and healthy and drivers to be careful on the roads which have become treacherous as a result of the ash flow from the volcano.

Did that volcano pay carbon credits first? Maybe it’s time we have electric volcanoes.
I’m glad I don’t have to pay this volcano’s fines
The plume appears to be going pretty much straight up. Relatively low winds. I guess that puts paid to the idea of wind power for the volcanoes.
Yup. Solar powered, that’s the ticket!
Ash cloud all the way to Barbados .
If it wasn’t already, potable water is shortly going to be an issue...
Stuff happens when a country gives away its nuclear MAD deterrent option.
“In 2017, Saint Vincent signed the UN treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapon.”

Electric volcanoes. Sounds like a name for a punk rock band.
Lots of ash to the East, however, enough to close the airport in Barbados.
Maybe they should put two masks on top of the volcano.
And cruise ships are only evacuating the vaxxed
Anyone know how this is likely to affect the region?
Esp the USVI
Quite the Burp
How will all of this ash impact the storms in the upcoming hurricane season?
Can Bill Gates’ sunblock match the output of these volcanoes?
I wouldn’t consider USVI part of this region of islands. These are the Windwards. Very south and near grenada. St vincent is part of the grenadines including Mustique winter resort homes of lots of british royalty/celebs. the clouds could cover hundreds of miles but the tradewinds blow from the east westward mostly. Looks like the wind is taking the cloud to barbados which is very far east of St vincent. Last big volcanic eruption was Montserrat in the Leewards. Other than evacuation of the island i don’t think many around it were effected significantly.
