Volcano On St. Vincent Could Experience Larger Eruption

La Soufrière, the highest peak on the Caribbean island of St. Vincent, began to explosively erupt Friday morning, forcing thousands to evacuate as ash and smoke filled the sky.
And a larger eruption may be on the way.
Richard Robertson, a geologist with the University of the West Indies Seismic Research Centre, said the volcano is in its explosive eruption phase. The initial explosion of dust and debris St. Vincent experienced Friday is likely just the beginning.
“The explosive eruption has started and it is possible you could have more explosions like these,” he said during a press conference. “The first one is not necessarily the worst one, the first bang is not necessarily the biggest bang this volcano will give.”
