Volcano in St. Vincent Erupts Three Times in a Matter of Days Since 1979

This prompted the prime minister of St. Vincent and The Grenadines, Ralph Gonsalves, to issue mandatory evacuation orders to about 16,000 people who live in “red zones” near the volcano. Even though officials say the ash will affect travel to surrounding areas like Barbados, Gonsalves does have good news. Inside Edition Digital’s Stephanie Officer shares the details.
