La Soufrière continues to spew ash in the air, miles and miles around St Vincent. Residents who were unwilling to evacuate are now doing so with assistance from coast guards. The volcano erupted in 1902 killing over 1500 people and again erupted in 1979. The eastern Caribbean island is home to some 100,000 nationals.

Officials warned that Barbados, Grenada and Saint Lucia may experience light ash.
