La Soufriere volcano,  in Saint Vincent  & the Grenadines, has erupted, spewing ash and lava in a dramatic event that followed a declaration of disaster in the Caribbean nation. The “explosive eruption” began at 8:41 a.m. on Friday, according to the University of the West Indies Seismic Research Centre (UWI-SRC). The centre had warned about alarming seismic activity at the volcano only a day prior. “All persons in the Red Zone are asked to evacuate immediately!” St. Vincent and the Grenadines’ National Emergency Management Organization (NEMO) said in a statement on Friday morning.
