1995 marked a turning point. This episode shares personal recollections of the day the Soufrière Hills Volcano reawakened, how word spread through ZJB Radio and government briefings, and the disbelief that slowly turned to dread. Interviewees describe the physical and emotional toll — the ash-filled air, exclusion zones, and the painful decisions faced by families. Faith, music, and solidarity sustained many through uncertainty, but the eruption made it clear: life in Montserrat would never be the same again.
