Saint Vincent: La Soufriere volcano explodes, evacuated island

The La Soufreire volcano, which occupies a large part of the island-state of Saint Vincent, as expected, has exploded, with a mushroom reaching up to 7,000,000 meters in height. 1600 inhabitants were evacuated, even if the spectacular eruption was foreseen in advance. The eruptions of the volcano were quite periodic, but also very destructive: that of 1902 killed over 1600 people. The last of the seventies, however, there were no deaths because, as in this case, there were rather precise signals of what was about to happen.

In the images below the spectacle of the event. However we hope that now there is no victim, although the destruction is very great
