More flee volcano on Caribbean island of St. Vincent

(Worthy News) – More people fled their homes on the eastern Caribbean island of St. Vincent on Sunday as La Soufrière volcano rumbled loudly for a third day and the heavy weight of its ashfall damaged some buildings. Residents reported widespread power failures early in the day, though authorities restored electricity to most of the island by late afternoon.

The eruption Friday of La Soufrière prompted many people to evacuate their homes, and others who had remained in place sought shelter elsewhere Sunday.

The volcano’s rumbles were heard in the capital of Kingstown, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) south. [ Source: ABC News (Read More…) ]
