Kingtown, St. Vincent— La Soufriere volcano fired an enormous amount of ash and hot gas early Monday in the biggest explosive eruption yet since volcanic activity began on the eastern Caribbean island of St. Vincent late last week, with officials worried about the lives of those who have refused to evacuate. Experts called it a “huge explosion” that generated pyroclastic flows down the volcano’s south and southwest flanks.“It’s destroying everything in its path,” Erouscilla Joseph, director of the University of the West Indies’ Seismic Research Center, told The Associated Press. “Anybody who would have not heeded the evacuation, they need to get out immediately.

Poster #2, last week I read an article that said no one would be evacuated unless they had proof of the vaccination. Don't know if that's true or if it was, if they are still enforcing it. There have been about 52 volcanoes erupting so far this year, does that seem like an unusual amount?

#2... the vaccination requirement was directly FROM the St. Vincent government and the governments of the other islands the these people were being evacuated to to prevent Covid spread. Other countries have a right to protect their borders... not JUST the US. ANYONE not vaccinated is being evacuated to the safe side of St Vincent. The big meanie cruise ships are just leaving poor people there on the dock to die a fiery death.

We visit friends on Antigua from time to time. Monserrat is about 35 miles away. At night there is a red glow above it from the still active volcano. The destruction there from its major eruption is awful.

The island is a volcano. I used to live across the bay from Vesuvio in Italy. Pompeii and Herculaneum were a day trip away and gave me quite the education on living in the shadow of a volcano. And just over the hill in the other direction was Solfatara, a volcano/steam vent field which had in Roman times covered up the really well preserved, and now excavated, Flavian Amphitheater in Pozzuoli, also a wonderful site to visit. Living near still steaming volcanoes was an education. Don't doubt that they are still dangerous. And a family member lived on Sicily for a couple of years, where Mt. Etna has been essentially continuously erupting for 50 years, although there are times when the red lava isn't fountaining into the sky, but it seems like more time erupting since the 70s than not erupting. Don't live on the side of a volcano. If you do, pay close attention and be prepared to run away and lose everything without much warning.

#5 - Yes, I understand that .. don't take these people to another country. The cruise ships can quarantine people if necessary. Two weeks - 10 days as necessary. The first report I read seemed to indicate that the cruise ships would move the 16,000 people who needed evacuation to the other side of the island - but with the caveat that passengers needed to be vaccinated.

this volcano has release more carbon monoxide than all the car is the US for that last 5 years, It will also cool the planet from the layer of dirt, dust, rock and other matter thrown into the atmosphere. This is why green initiatives are meaningless.

No they can't just quarantine on the ships for 10 days because the cruise ship staff is a skelton crew thanks to the shutdown in cruising. The staff were sent home! The usual 600-1200 crew are reduced to under 100. No sanitation for 2000 people. No food staff. Very little security. Transport only within 24 hrs is one thing, housing and feeding and securing thousands for over a week with no crew... no.

For four years, the liberal media led the Left’s fierce resistance to the Trump administration, slamming the President night after night after night. Now, a new study by the Media Research Center finds the broadcast evening newscasts have executed a full flip-flop, as they aid and abet liberal President Joe Biden’s administration with mostly positive coverage.During his first three months in office, the broadcast evening newscasts have showered Biden with 59% positive press. Four years ago, those same programs were hammering Trump with 89% negative press — a stunning contrast.

American schools are ‘going down the tubes’ because they have been ‘infected’ with ‘woke culture’ that has ‘sacrificed the idea of excellence’ by ‘indoctrinating’ students, according to a leading critic.Vivek Ramaswamy spoke out in response to two separate controversies that impacted elite New York City prep schools where parents complained their children were being brainwashed with anti-racism ideology. Ramaswamy, a biotech entrepreneur and the author of Woke, Inc, compared the wave of ‘wokeness’ in schools to China’s Cultural Revolution of the 60s and 70s, when the people were indoctrinated with Maoism by the Communist Party.

President Trump has broken his silence on Biden deciding to break his agreement with Afghanistan.Trump in his latest statement was quoted saying “I wish Joe Biden wouldn’t use September 11th as a day to withdraw troops from Afghanistan”.Trump then stated his two reasons why Biden should stick to withdrawing the troops on the date he decided which was May 1st.The first reason was that Trump stated that he already made the moving process easier by removing expensive equipment in Afghanistan.Secondly, he stated that using September 11th as a date to celebrate our troops coming home from Afghanistan would be totally inappropriate and insensitive.

Ted Cruz has accused Democrats of 'actively encouraging riots & violence' after California Representative Maxine Waters joined protesters in Minnesota on Saturday night, and urged the crowd to 'get more confrontational'. Waters traveled to Minneapolis the weekend before closing arguments in the trial of Derek Chauvin, charged with murdering George Floyd on May 25. She also spoke amid protests in response to the killing last week of Daunte Wright, a black 20-year-old shot and killed at a traffic stop by a white police officer, Kimberly Potter. 'I am not happy that we have talked about police reform for so long,' Waters said.

The statement is ironic since Waters is one of the House members suing former President Donald Trump and others for inciting violence on Jan. 6 with his words on the Mall. Waters insists that Trump telling his supporters to go to the Capitol to make their voice heard and "fight" for their votes was actual criminal incitement. Conversely, Waters was speaking after multiple nights of rioting and looting, telling protesters to stay on the streets and
