Montserrat Volcano Observatory


Morning Report
Report for the period 6 pm 9 May
to 7 am 10 May 1998


The level of volcanic activity has been low overnight. The predominant seismic signals have been due to small to moderate sized rockfall events from the dome. No volcano-tectonic events were recorded by the seismic system. Yesterday evening there was also a longer duration signal that was probably due to a mudflow. The signal started at about 9.30 pm and lasted for about 30 minutes.

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.
