Three explosive eruptions rock St Vincent, as evacuations continue Article by April 10, 2021 A Barbados Coast Guard ship and 40 sailors were steaming towards Kingstown overnight to deliver humanitarian aid after three explosive eruptions of the La Soufriere volcano filled the skies in and around St. Vincent with stony ash throughout Friday. Here at home, authorities are closely monitoring local air quality and have pledged to provide early warning if atmospheric conditions worsen from the fallout. Late into the night on Friday, the crew of HMBS Rudyard Lewis was busy loading about seven tonnes of supplies on to the vessel. During the crew’s final preparations, Attorney General Dale Marshall and Minister of Home Affairs Wilfred Abrahams visited the base at HMBS Pelican to wish the sailors safe passage.
