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.

That cloud looks pretty dark, so it ought to be cool with them!/s;)
I can understand what he’s saying just fine. Very British is all.
I liked that.
“Iceland. Now this one.
Gonna be a cold snap.”
*******************************
There’s already been a “cold snap” this year. Now, the anthropogenic climate change liars will have something to blame it on.
Could go either way according to Al Gore.
.. 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......

In other words, how many cow farts equal 2 minutes of volcanic spewing?
“Racist volcano attacks mostly black population...”
20,000 feet?
Wont effect hardly anything.
Got to get that stuff UP THERE! WAY UP THERE.
The 1991 eruption of Pinatubo sent ash over 21 miles into the air. It lowered global temps by about 1 degree.
It was the second largest in the 20th century. The largest was in Alaska in 1912.
It’s pushing 100 degrees in TX right now. That’s a 100 degree increase from a few weeks ago. Yep, totally climate change never mind we’re coming into summer.
Volcanic ash added to Grand Solar Minimum!
Read a couple of articles over the years how the plague was worsen by a mini-ice age following increased volcanic activity. Rats moved closer to people.
Do climate change models take in account volcanic activities and sunspots and solar winds? How can they predict these?
They certainly take into account the effects of solar activity since these tend to be a tad more predictable.
But volcanism? Impossible.
I have never checked but, Tambora-the volcano that erupted in the early 1800s was the biggest one in “modern” times. It effected weather all over the world for decades. The result was a super spread of cholera, just to name a few.
My question is, was there a solar minimum during that time period? To be certain, the mini ice age had not fully ended yet. But was there a lack of solar activity at that time?
BTW, historically, VEI 6s to 7s erupt at a rate of about 3 to 5 per century.
Somebody is gonna blow. Which and where is the question.
Here is a tidbit. Nearly every single volcano along the Sierra Nevada and Cascade range are listed on the USGS lists as very high in the likely range for an eruption.
Yellowstone? Listed as high.
The one to watch is the Long Valley caldera. Up in the mountains around there, the magma is higher than on the valley floor in some cases. So all it has to do is erupt outwards, very much like St Helens.
The Long Valley Caldera had the third largest super volcanic eruption on this continent. Not much smaller than the second largest at Yellowstone.
The scary thing is that along those ranges, violent earthquakes could trigger a reaction. Especially the Cascadia fault.
