La Soufrière volcano is located on the largest island of the St. Vincent and the Grenadines chain, the country's National Emergency Management Organization (NEMO) said. "Explosive eruption at La Soufrière," NEMO tweeted. "Ash plumes up to 20,000 feet headed East," it added.

St. Vincent and the Grenadines Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves on Thursday declared a disaster alert prompted by a change in the eruptive activity at the La Soufrière volcano, NEMO said.

The island was placed on red alert, meaning an eruption was "imminent now," NEMO said.

"Please leave the red zone immediately. La Soufrière has erupted. Ash fall recorded as far as Argyle International Airport," it said.

On Friday, Dora James, director general of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Red Cross, told CNN the eruption sounded like a "large jet engine," and that there was a "consistent flow of smoke" from the ash plume.

“Iceland. Now this one.

Won’t matter. The “follow the pretend science” media will blame the eruptions on climate change anyway, and somehow the colder temp reading will be “corrected” to show continued warming.

Those D- STEM students need those climate change gubmit research funds, ya know.

Wonder where all the offices of all the trusts and corporations will get moved...? /s

.. and how many climate changing, atmosphere polluting, it's- the-end-of-the-freeworld-as-we-know-it tens of millions of tons of "greenhouse gases' will be discharged into the atmosphere-naturally, as in "not caused directly OR indirectly by mankind"?

Crickets......

20,000 feet in the air?? pffft. Amateurish.

Iceland’s volcanoes send ash 30,000 feet!

If only we could just get the gulf of California to open up all the way to Vegas or Mammoth/Reno area, putting some distance between CA and Arizona, and giving AZ some beach and shipping...

Has CNN found a way to blame Trump yet?

[Paco]

That plume of pollution could’ve very well come out of Michael Moore and has nothing to do with a volcano...

Is this part of Bill Gates’ project to freeze global warming?

Face diaper mumblers.
Not watching.

I think the best way to stop this is for me to drink some Jim Beam Bourbon.

That stopped that volcano in Peoria.

All these volcanoes!

Gaia must be really pissed.

Quick, someone toss Greta into a cone of roiling magma to make it all stop.

earth shartering...

It’s going to be interesting to see how it affects hurricane season. We (Florida) had a period of calm caused by dust being blown across the Atlantic from the Sahara Desert. Hurricanes had problems staying formed. With the volcanic ash? Who knows...could be a light season.
