That's an impressive volcanic cloud it's larger than the Lesser Antilles, it's not only wide but it must be very tall based on IR images.

[cycloneye]

Camera took this great shot of eruption.

[Gustywind]

Amazing shot! Oh boy...

[cycloneye]

Amazing shot! Oh boy...

Can you see the big cloud of ash from where you are?

[HUC]

Hey Gusty,have you ash in your location.Here the ash cloud begin to arrived up over our heads;but no ash fall at this time .I heard sky is very dark at Anse Bertrand...

:eek: That's an impressive volcanic cloud it's larger than the Lesser Antilles, it's not only wide but it must be very tall based on IR images.

Impressive is an understatement to describe these images.No reports so far of people that have been killed by this.If I get info,I will post it.

[Gustywind]

Absolutely HUC i have some, it's less dark here but it's dark i have some thin ash over the glass of my car HUC.


Partial Dome Collapse

Just a quick note

The volcano here on Montserrat has partially collapsed. The event was about an hour long event. The pyroclastic flows went to the NE and E reaching the sea at the old airport and toward Trants. A few PF's went into the Belham as far as the edge of Cork Hill. But the collapse stayed to the east. The winds were in our favor so most of the inhabited areas did not get any ash. (Thank Goodness). If you look on the satellite the you can see the ash cloud moving in between Antigua and Guadalupe.
It will be a few days before we know how much came down but hopefully it will be enough to let those of us evacuated be able to go home.

[HUC]

Ok Gusty.
No ash in my location.The cloud moves more to the ESe than SSe.
The north part of Grande Terre received a lot of ash from this eruption.

[Gustywind]

Amazing shot! Oh boy...

Can you see the big cloud of ash from where you are?

Yeah i can Luis from where i am. I was driving at Petit-Canal (a locality just south of Monsterrat ) near at 1PM when i saw this big cloud, no doubts.. i understood what could happen.

[Gustywind]

Ok Gusty.
No ash in my location.The cloud moves more to the ESe than SSe.
The north part of Grande Terre received a lot of ash from this eruption.

Yeah you're right, hopefully Basse-Terre seems much more out of the major and "strong" amount of ash, good news for you my friend!

[Gustywind]

Whereas this ash activity should continue to pose troubles for the planes during the next few hours as the airport of Le Raizet is close since 530 pm.

[Gustywind]

Right now my car is entirely covered with ash, remembering 1997

[cycloneye]

Right now my car is entirely covered with ash, remembering 1997

Oh boy my friend.Hopefully the volcano stops the throwing of ash and goes to sleep after this.

[Gustywind]

The authorities decided to close the schools for tommorow in Guadeloupe...
