Montserrat Volcano Observatory


Morning Report
Report for the period 6 pm 8 May
to 7 am 9 May 1998


The level of volcanic activity has been low overnight. Recorded seismic activity consisted of one volcano-tectonic earthquake in the early evening, which was the last of a small swarm which had been going on throughout most of yesterday, and two rockfall signals and several very minor seismic disturbances during the night.

There is some light low cloud around the volcano at dawn this morning but conditions look favourable for observations and work on the mountain today.

Residents are reminded that the volcano remains in an active state, and that they should continue listening to Radio Montserrat in case the present quiet situation at the volcano changes suddenly.
