    Looking at the video circulating. It could be the following:
    Rain from earlier in the day/week hitting the hit deep hot rocks of causing increased steam. (Minor Phreatic )
    An increase in plat pays volcanic activity more steam.(phreatic)
    Any significant increase in volcanic activity should be accompanied by minor tremors. So far none advised. Let’s see…

    So in the event of an eruption how will Skerrit save the people? Shouldn’t there be a jetty built already especially in a labor strong hold?

    As previous seismic studies have indicated; in terms of volcanic eruption at Soufriere, it’s not a case of IF it will happen but WHEN it will happen.

    that area is up behind the sulfur springs, or what is left after it after Maria so to get there you would have to take a little hike to get to it, it’s away from people houses… If you see the state of the place after Maria smh so long and the Tourism minister not doing nothing

    What is there to investigate; whereas we already know  Dominica sits on a ring of fire?

    That might be the first sign of the eruption of a volcano.

    Note: In earthquake generation; the Users emits Seismic waves that would cause tremors in the Earth which causes terrestrial damage, to buildings, mountains, and can even cause Tsunamis.

      In vibration emission; the users emits vibrations which can cause damage with vibration waves that may push targets over, repulsed them, or shatter them away.

    By the time the investigation of Dominica talk commenced it might be time to evacuate; hence an evacuation plan should be eminently decided upon!

        Boy, you skinny little devil; that’s the way I remember you on Steber street hanging around the grocery shop!
        I told you before I am not an idiot!
        If you wish to be an idiot, I say more power to you eh!

        Hahahahahahahahahah!

        But, be informed, that I have countless relatives, nieces and nephews in Dominica who are young, and are able to run!

        However, I have an 86 year old sister, in the village of Wesley, I don’t think she has the speed to out run volcano ash; so I would have to be a fool to wish such disaster on the country.

        Now if hurricane blow away me Almost Nearly Cousin doctor Punjab  the triple doctor, I might be sad about it; I’m not sure, as long doctor Punjab dissolve in some form of chemical or any form of liquid that can evaporate I don’t mind eh!

        And Man Dog Roosevelt can take you along with him eh; you both are sons of the devil!

        Hahahahahahahahahahahah!

            You know I do not remember his name, but when I first met him; I was told his parent, more so his father left him with someone and went to England, and would later send for him.
            I believe they did: that is why you may have read where he said “since I leaving in uk I get smart and know there is no god.”

            You know he might not be a bad person; so in the event by some reason he identify himself to you, try not take the crap he speaks personal to a point of avoiding him.

            I think he is simply one of those blind misguided persons who became inebriated on Roosevelt cool aid!

            He has a certain amount of humanity in him; I found that out when my older son died from a massive heart attack almost four years ago; in spite of all the insults we trade he was the only one communicating here who extended his condolences to me.
            Ignore his ignorance!
