Martinique - St. Pierre - Fort Church Ruins

            At 8:00 am on the morning of May 8, 1902, Mt. Pelee erupted sending a pyroclastic cloud of hot gases and ash on the city of Saint Pierre on the Caribbean island of Martinique.  The city was destroyed and over 30,000 people were killed instantly.

These are the ruins of the Fort Church.  The ruins show the destructiveness of the pyroclastic cloud.

What's sad is that the church was full of worshipers at the time of its destruction.
