Massive power outages struck the Caribbean island of Saint Vincent before dawn on April 11, 2021, as officials recorded more explosive activity at a long-dormant volcano that launched into a series of eruptions. After remaining quiet for nearly 42 years, La Soufriere rumbled back into life Friday, blanketing the island in ash and permeating the air with the stench of sulphur. Ash buildup on some power lines was contributing to extensive electric outages. Handout NASA Earth Observatory/AFP
