It looks like something might have happened with the volcano because ever since last evening, it has been very hazy here.
Anyone know anything about this?

Activity Report – 5 May 2008
There was a small pyroclastic flow on the eastern flank of the Soufriere Hills Volcano at 2 am on Monday 5th May, 2008. Light ashfall was reported in the Old Town area.
The flow may have been triggered by very heavy rainfall at the time, which also generated lahars.
A brief swarm of volcano-tectonic earthquakes occurred at the same time as the flow. These were located at a very shallow depth beneath the dome.
Don't know if that is what is causing your haze. To me it doesn't sound like much but what do I know? I did look at the web cams this morning and wonder what was going on.
