Montserrat Volcano Observatory
Montserrat, W.I.

Report for the period 5 p.m. 28 November to 5 p.m. 29 November 1998


Very heavy rain fell on the volcano last night with 1.8 inches of rain
falling in less than 3 hours at the weather station at Jack Boy Hill.
This caused mudflows on all flanks of the volcano and down the Belham
Valley.  Up to a metre of mudflow deposit now blocks the Belham Bridge.
Apart from the seismicity associated with the mudflows the seismic
networks recorded 13 rockfall signals and 5 volcano-tectonic earthquakes
in the last 24 hours.

Residents of Montserrat are advised to keep listening to ZJB Radio
Montserrat for information relating to any further developments in the
state of the volcano.
