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

[17th Miss Regt]

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.

[mad_as_he$$]

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.

[Truth29]

Lots of ash to the East, however, enough to close the airport in Barbados.

[The Louiswu]

Electric volcanoes...

[HighSierra5]

Maybe they should put two masks on top of the volcano.

[silverleaf]

And cruise ships are only evacuating the vaxxed

[silverleaf]

Anyone know how this is likely to affect the region?
Esp the USVI

[kanawa]

Quite the Burp

A side bar to this story has three drone videos from last night of the volcanic eruptions in Iceland, they are very good.

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.
