so let's go to derek van dam. derek is monitoring all of this.his is quite devastating the impact of this ash, isn't it? >> reporter: yeah, it is. and we're starting to get some social media interaction talking about how there is a complete island-wide power outage that has occurred about 1:00 a.m. this morning local time. and that coincides what i believe to be one of the most violent explosive eres that's occurred this fall with this recent volcano. i've been monitoring this latest satellite imagery. you can see this billowing smoke cloud from the island of st. vincent. it's the most recent one within the past three hours i'm quite concerned about because you can see how intense it actually was and there's almost that circular ring of cloud that explains to me as a meteorologist this was a very aggressive and explosive eruption that has just recently occurred. getting some of the images from the ground this is in barbados, look at how the volcanic ash has turned the day sky into a night sky. that is how impactful this volcanic ash can be on sur

let's bring in derek van dam. what happened, first of all?e waking up at 11:00 on saturday morning and your told you need to evacuate now. the stack imminent. that's terrifying for anyone let alone the residents there directly impacted by their attempts to plug the whole. let me give you a geographical reference there. we're talking about 40 miles to the south of tampa. there is a couple of threats in the region. you see the state of emergency in tampa bay. you see the shading of red, there is an ecological threat that could unfold. and the potential for if the full breach was to occur, it could bring 140 million gallons of contaminated waste water. it would flood the low lying areas of the earn shore line. by the way 480 million gallons of water is there is four olympic pool siess. think about the contamination involved. we have a fertilizer plant in question there. the waste water impacted that and if this leak turns into a breach then we have a disaster to deal with. when you think about the fishing industry we're talking about employment

let's bring in meteorologist derek van dam. what can you tell us?rious, obviously. >> well, kim, conditions on the ground are like a tinderbox just like much of the western u.s., the great basin in particular, but now this drought weather has also spread to much of the northern and central plains. look at the conditions that they have to deal with, forcing the evacuations across this t smalltown in the southwestern part of the state. today we have elevated fire conditions which means that the combination of stronger wind gusts up to 30 miles per hour, the low humidity and the extremely dry vegetation means that all the ingredients are necessary for the fire weather conditions to continue. look at the red flag warnings that are extending from the dakotas all the way to the texas and oklahoma panhandle, anywhere you see that shading of pink. high pressure firmly in control of the weather, that suppresses cloud cover, allows for sunshine to come out in maximum force, you couple that with the above average temperatures even across the dakotas right now

derek van dam non forring the situation. what's going on, derek? over western straim. you can see the broader perspective. we're monitoring three different areas but focussing in on s sarraja. it is now a singular tropical cyclone that is making its presence known along the klein of western australia. landfall with the next three to four hours, just to the north of geraldton. 120 kilometer per hour sustained winds. for the united states audience that's we have leapt to a low category 1. i think the coastal erosion issue will be of concern. this storm is pushing up a lot of water from the ocean and with that comes large waves and the potential for some destruction there. you can see 1 o 10 kilometer per hour. this is a quick moving storm, so that will limit the flash flooding, but nonetheless, still 50 to a hundred millimeters of rain could cause some localized flooding. this is the wave height, you can see. six to nine meter swells on the open ocean as it makes its way into this particularly roegion y local time. radar already picking up on some of

we want to bring in meteorologist derek van dam on this. k, you know, you had said this is likely what was going to happen. we are now in what is called an explosive-eruption phase. educate me here. does that mean the strongest eruptions are likely, still, to come? >> well, you know, with he work in television so a visual medium is the best way to show you what is happening. we have got satellite imagery. satellites that are literally focused on this part of the caribbean and i want to show you how active this volcano has been just within the past six hours. this is incredible. i have been studying this all night. it's difficult to get information on the ground, in the middle of the night. let alone, on an island in the caribbean with an active volcano. one thing we have heard is the entire island of st. vincent has lost power because of a recent, explosive volcanic eruption that has occurred. now, lookment just within the past six hours, there have been, literally, three explosive eruptions. you can count them. one. two. and the third one t

>> appreciate it, derek van dam there. >> back to your top story, prince philip.was a champion of charitable causes all around the world, one in particular was close to his heart the duke of edinburgh international award. it's reached students in over 130 countries. he also gave his name to the prince philip foundation helps lower income children access school he attended as a boy. he was one of gordonson's first students in 1934 and was head boy in his final year. he regularly returned throughout his life to meet with children. and in the relationship between prince philip and the queen is considered one of the greatest royal love stories in modern times. they were married for more than seven decades after first meeting as youths in the 1930s. bun of the queen's cousins said he was, quote, her rock and was barely and rarely far from her side when it came to everything from visits abroad to celebrations like the diamond jubilee marked an incredible 60 years on the throne for queen elizabeth. the prince himself once said the essential ingredient to any marriage is

. >>> for more on that we will bring in meteorologist derek van dam. really good to see you.just heard from patrick and i'm curious about this. he's talk being these tremors and i'm wondering officials say it's imminent, it's likely. how are officials sure about that given, you know, the activity of those tremors right now? >> well, the tremors, paula, are creating the seismic activity that's longer duration than a usual earthquake in and around the volcano. so this is given an indication to voluntarily con olg gists, so scientists that mag ma is trying to surface to the top of this volcano, even the dome of the volcano has started to actually increase in height. so that is a tell tale sign that this volcano is set and primed and ready to erupt. you're looking at the caribbean ocean, this is the windward islands and st. vincent island has one lone active volcano on the north side of the island and that's important because of what i'm about to explain to you. what has occurred here within the past 24 hours is what is called an effuse sieve eruption, the lava has steadily come

meteorologist derek van dam, you've been tracking all of it and i know you have new images showing the learn about the meaning of this as well. the images i'm going to show you is incredible. we're looking at st. vincent island. notice there are three continuous exploding eruptions occurring within the past six hours and unfortunately the benefactor of all of that volcanic ash and smoke is barbados. look at this. that brown milky haze drifting from st. vincent due eastward over the island completely covering barbados. let me take you to the grounds because scenes have been almost apocalyptic, changing daylight into nighttime in a matter of seconds. this video was shot during the course of the day. you see streetlights on to illuminate some of the surrounding area. certainly not looking like the day at all. they've had a difficult time in the caribbean. they're having a chamging time across western australia. we're moments away from a tropical cyclone making landfall across the coast just to the north, 130-kilometer force winds. it's making its way to the east. it will increase a flash
