A group of persons fishing at the Chateaubelair wharf yesterday, April 9 left their fishing lines and even fish behind when an explosion from La Soufriere sent them running.
Sixty-four-year-old Ian Miller says he wasn’t frightened by the blast, although this is his first time so close to the volcano during an explosive eruption. In 1979, he was working in Kingstown when La Soufriere showed its force.
“I didn’t really plan to leave … but the eruption get so violent now,” he said, speaking to SEARCHLIGHT from an emergency shelter at Peter’s Hope, where he arrived yesterday morning, April 9, and was among other evacuees from Chateaubelair. It was the ash that drove him away from the village in the end, he noted.
