Soufriere just did a little emission around 3 p.m. - we've had worse. Air quality is now quite foul, in Barbados, visibility is quite reduced dust blowing around as wind has picked up a bit and a sulphurous smell a bit like gunpowder is about... yuck! Windows are now closed. Best air quality is in the house! In these pics you can see wave after wave as they proceed west-to-East, over Barbados.

Here comes the 10 a.m. pop -soon to deliver another dose of dust to Barbados!

La Soufriere popped again around 10 a.m. Sunday 11th. Pop after pop after pop! Wave after wave of dust, coming our way.. Will this ever end? My wife is "cleaning" - lol -wasting her time.

Two more pops! Ash-fall rate this evening ramped-up around 5 p.m. and is now light but steady at 8:45 p.m. I have a catching arrangement set up, and the sample is increasing. Everything in the house now has a thin film of light grey ash. had we known better, perhaps we shoulda locked up things a bit, shut windows and doors, etc.

Here in Barbados we are relatively unscathed! Every thing is now covered in fine volcanic dust (our biggest "worry") but otherwise we're good. Alternating periods of light and dark spells ...whole day long as clouds of varying thickness go over us. Folks in the North of Barbados seem to be getting thicker dust and darker spells. I'm thinking this could go on for a few days yet, but don't tell my wife who wants to get busy with cleanup! I am gathering clean dust samples for souvenir. _______________________________________ Conditions in S

Those evacuees taken by Serenade of the Seas to St. Lucia are agri-workers on their way to Canada...but St. V. airport is so bad they are being transferred to St. Lucia, to travel onward from there. She is now docked at Point Seraphine, Castries. Here in Barbados, we've had alternating periods of lighter and darker conditions over the last hour or so. Awhile ago I could just about see (against darker backgrounds) the very fine ash-fall that is now precipitating.
