1979 Eruption - La Soufrière Volcano St Vincent 

Who is here because of current events?

i could listen to the elderly lady on her veranda all day, lovely voice.

Whoever watching in 2021 will know this same volcano now erupting.

I am a Barbadian who was 9 years old when this volcano erupted. I remember it like yesterday....hearing my older relatives talk about something hitting them in the face outside and I went outside and felt the small particles beating against my face in the way their described it. I remember being afraid to sleep in fear of an earth quake triggering a tidal wave as it was explained then. Today I know it’s a tsunami. We heard that the volcano in st vincent had erupted. That ash was heaped in our patio the next morning. That volcanic ash reached us in barbados. That’s just amazing. Think rumor has it it helped our crops that year to flourish. 👍🏾

Wow another April eruption

Crazy it’s erupting now 😭😭😭 Prayers for vincy 🇻🇨🇻🇨

We’re going to be fine but please pray💕 and support guys please there are a lot of disabled elderly 😞

I was a deck watch officer on the USCGC Dallas (WHEC-716) deployed to assist at the 1979 eruption. The Dallas was just offshore standing by to assist as necessary as the eruption occurred. Unforgettable!

I experienced the 1979 eruption first hand because I lived in Richland Park. I have since moved to the USA but still have many relatives there. I pray for everyone's safety

I’m here because I wanted to hear what happened in 1979

The legacy of my maternal great-grandfather, George Edwards-affectionately known as Brother Eddie, who was born in 1874 or 1875 in St. Vincent-is profound. Brother Eddie heroically saved many lives with his fishing boat during the 1902 eruption of La Soufrière Volcano. He generously donated land for the Save Soul Gospel Hall Church and contributed to the founding of the Campden Park Agricultural and Experimental Station. A versatile man, he was a farmer, fisherman, herbalist, massage therapist, and preacher. People from various parts of St. Vincent and neighboring islands sought Brother Eddie for medical assistance. He successfully treated and cured individuals whom medical doctors could not. His aid extended to the residents of Wallilabou as well. Following the eruption, at least 68 Wallilabou families found new homes in Campden Park, with others settling in Claire Valley, where Brother Eddie's relatives lived. He was responsible for planting the coconut palms in Lowmans' Bay and worked as an operator and driver of diggers during the Panama Canal's construction. Brother Eddie was a true all-rounder. His death in 1960 brought people from across St. Vincent and beyond to his funeral, marking the largest gathering ever seen in Campden Park for such an event.

Its december 31, 2020. Soufriere is acting up again .... In 1979, my father Eardlie Allen ( Born in Colonarie, SVG but living and working in the island of Curaçao for over 35 years at the time) organized cargo with clothes and food with the Curaçao Red Cross and joined the Red Cross in a flight to Sint Vincent. The Curaçao community ( with a few thousand SVG born countrymen) helped fantastic. My dad has passed away 12 years ago ( 2008) but if he were alive, he would have done his best to help again considering the rumble the vulcano is producing now in the last days of 2020 - Michael Allen from the island of Curaçao

Amazing! I was born in 1981 so I definitely missed it. Thanks for sharing the story. Peace and love.😊

I was in church that good Friday morning I'll never forget that experience

Luv the two sisters. They reminds of my mother at that age.

Was there when it happened.too young to remember. Actually have a jar of the volcanic ash my father had collected.

Beautiful Island

My mother returned to St.Vincent bringing me along as an 11 year old from London. Never seen anything like it before. Scared the bejesus out of me. An experience never to forget. RIP Vincent Beache.

Year latter again it happens

God just come oh god

who thinks this will happen in 32 days?

Too anecdotal and disjointed. Not enough footage of the actual event albeit a long time ago.

Most Hollywood females movie,TV and music star and superstars was both male and not female
