A volcano in the southern Caribbean erupted early Friday April 9, 2021, spewing a two-mile-high cloud of ash into the sky one day after thousands were ordered to evacuate the area.
The long-dormant volcano, known as La Soufrière, on the main island of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, moved into an "explosive state" Friday morning, sending plumes up to "eight kilometers," the National Emergency Management Organization shared on Twitter.
