Dome of Montserrat volcano collapses
Sunday, July 13, 2003 Posted: 11:40 PM EDT (0340 GMT)

OLVESTON, Montserrat (AP) -- Explosions rocked Montserrat's volcano on Sunday, spewing thick clouds of ash into the air after heavy rainfall caused part of the volcano's dome to collapse.

Tree branches were snapped off from the weight of the ash and significant damage was done to surrounding vegetation, said Richard Herd, director of the Montserrat Volcano Observatory.

"There's no one in the area right now but as a precaution we're asking people in surrounding areas to stay indoors. There's still a chance of more explosions and rock fall," said Herd.

1. Damn, again?
I fear that the island may have to be abandoned for good sometime in the future.
