Good Morning All

Just wanted to warn everyone in the area.

Last night our volcano decided to rear it's ugly head again. Around 10:00pm the Soufriere Hills volcano in Montserrat decided to let everyone know that it is still there. It started ash venting again. It has continued into this morning. There has been no explosions and the ash has stayed to the southwest (no ash at my house, thank goodness).

If you have plants that are not "ash hardy" you might want to check periodically so you can wash them off quickly so the ash does not damage the leaves or you can get them under cover until it quits.

I will try to keep everyone posted on the severity of the ash or if it quits again. From experience I know what the ash can do to plants and I don't want anyone to suffer the losses that I have because of that stupid volcano.

PS The picture is not of the ash cloud last night or this morning but of a previous ash cloud that floated behind my house.
