Montserrat's Soufriere Hills Volcano has erupted, hurling hot rocks more than half a mile in the air, and setting buildings ablaze in the abandoned capital Plymouth. Roderick Stewart Director of the volcano observatory in Montserrat, said buildings burned for several hours but no one was injured or evacuated. According to Mr. Stewart, the blast was smaller than the July explosion which spewed ash some 40,000 feet into the air. "It generally happen without any warning ... the first thing I heard was the explosion which alerted me that something was going on ... I went outside and there was a lot of ash in the atmosphere. Mr. Stewart added that there were lightening strikes associated with the ash clouds and glowing rocks could be seen on the side of the volcano that had been thrown out from the lava dome. "We could also see that a lava flow had gone down into Plymouth which had been abandoned a long time ago and there were actually some building burning several miles from the volcano," he added.In the sunrise chart erected for Montserrat, we have Mercury90MC, Chiron150MC, Uranus0IC.
As an aside, you would be surprised at how often Chiron is complicit in extreme natural phenomena. The recent floods in Santa Catarina province in Brazil had Chiron written all over them. This wounded healer does a lot more wounding than healing, I think. It was also involved in the collapse of those two schools in Haiti towards end October.
