Desolate Scenes From Vesuvius of the Caribbean
Kingstown reports the lava heat keeps people from La Soufriere. Wallibou and Richmond estates lie bare and ruined, with no vegetation and no living beings. Steam jets warn visitors as a possible new crater forms on the windward side, and ash and volcanic dust blanket the area. The eruption has destroyed crops, impeded cultivation for years, and threatens further blasts at the volcano’s base. Three thousand refugees are housed and fed by the government, while a 14 year old survivor narrates his family’s loss. The US Potomac will stay briefly, then sail to Guadeloupe to collect consular furniture and records.
