Did that volcano pay carbon credits first? Maybe it’s time we have electric volcanoes.

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.”

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?

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

Can Bill Gates’ sunblock match the output of these volcanoes?

"Another huge explosion occurred from the volcano in the early morning hours at 4:15 am according to Civil Protection and the University of St. Vincent. Pyroclastic flows were also reported - these are very dangerous, glowing turbulent avalanches of rock fragments and gas likely caused by collapsing parts of the eruption column that can travel many kilometers and destroy everything in their path. There is no data yet on how far and where exactly the pyroclastic flows traveled. We expect more information to come out in the near future, though.

The dome is confirmed completely destroyed. An important question to find out is whether the magma that has now erupted explosively is different from the one that had been building the dome during the past months, and how much of it is still left able to erupt in more explosions. A speculation is that the previous magma that had been building the new (now gone) dome until recently was actually older, more or less degassed magma left in the conduit from the previous eruption in 1979, gradually pushed out by a new batch of gas-rich magma rising from depth, and erupting now. The other possibility is that the dome had grown sufficiently to seal the conduit temporarily, causing magma underneath to form trapped gas bubbles, with increasing pressure, until it exploded, throwing the dome out like a champagne cork. The sudden release of pressure would then open the upper conduit and allow gas-rich, foamy and viscous magma to rise quickly and erupt explosively. A combination of both processes is a likely possibility as well."

Massive power outage is a bit of hyperbole as the population is only 111,215.

Massive would imply most of the Caribbean.
