St Vincent, and the Grenades
Two good videos about the Soufriere:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=q1cSPPsRtMc A nice explanation of the situation as of Dec 31st.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BlZbPEEtT5w A good account of the eruption of 1979, focussing on its effects on the natives. It's worth emphasizing (they mention it, albeit briefly) that the '79 explosive eruption was a consequence of the '71-'72 effusive eruption. The hot lava dome collapsed in a tremor, basically uncorking the volcano and allowing it to erupt. That's what's generally feared now.
