has just gotten started.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI suspect in terms of materials that at the end of the eruption, it would be greater than what we had in 1979 because this eruption is bigger than 79, it looks closer in magnitude to the 1902 eruption, and it has just gotten started,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 1902 eruption destroyed about one-third of the island, from Georgetown over to Chateaubelair and areas north of that was essentially destroyed, and when I say destroyed I mean tress, land and lots of materials deposited, the place looks like it was bombed,\u201d Robertson stated.<\/p>\n<p>The Geologist says it looks like that is the direction La Soufriere is taking again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has not reached there yet, the Eastern villages are still largely intact, but I suspect that it would not necessarily be the case when the eruption is over\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Robertson said that there might be reports from the team indicating a break in activities, but the eruption is far from over.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think people should pause to mean that it\u2019s finished, it\u2019s still early days yet, and it may be a good thing we got it wrong yesterday; I got it slightly wrong on Thursday because it shows how uncertain this thing is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Robertson said his team has observed that La Soufri\u00e8re is following a general pattern, and the details of that pattern may need tweaking as they go along.<\/p>\n<p>The Geologist said persons need to avoid the Red Zone as it is very high risk.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven with an interval between explosions, people must not think they can go into the areas because the interval may change as it did; there is a certain margin error with these systems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>St Vincent and the Grenadines remain on Red
