Montserrat volcano shivers, hurls rocks, gases

The Associated Press: "OLVESTON, Montserrat — Light ash has fallen over the capital of Montserrat after the Caribbean island's temperamental volcano hurled another round of hot rocks and gases.

Volcano observatory director Paul Cole says a small pyroclastic flow nearly reached the ocean as Soufriere Hills shed part of its old dome this week.

He said Friday that ash fell on parts of Olveston and Old Town.

Tremors also shook the volcano as it began emitting lava closer to the summit."
