We had hieghtened volcanic activity on Saturday evening though Sunday morning. Ash and small stones were sent between 40,000 and 50,000 feet in the air. Small stones rained on the entire island. Many windscreens  broken, vegetation damage, roofs colapse and dont talk about ash, it is the most I have seen since the activity started in 1995.
I will post more pictures at a later date. Thaks for your prayers and support.
