1902 On April 23rd, Mount Peilei began to erupt, and sulfur vapor emerged from the spray hole near the top of the mountain. Locals don't take this sign seriously because there have been spray holes before. On April 23, coal cinder broke out in the south and west of Peilei Mountain, and the underground vibration was quite severe. On April 26, Mount Pere erupted volcanic ash, but the government authorities still ignored it.
1902 On April 27th, several hikers climbed to the top of the mountain and found a lake180m (589ft) wide at the foot of Bailey Mountain. Saint Pierre, 6.4 kilometers (4.0 miles) from Mount Pere, is filled with a strong smell of sulfur, which makes residents and horses feel uncomfortable. 1902 On the afternoon of May 2, 1 1:30, Pei Lei volcano gave off a huge explosion, an earthquake and a lot of black smoke. Volcanic ash and pumice covered the northern half of the island. Because the water and food sources were polluted by volcanic ash, the animals on the farm began to die of hunger and thirst. On may 3, strong winds blew volcanic ash clouds to the north. Many citizens decided to flee the city, and the steamboat was full. On May 5th, Mount Pere apparently calmed down. However, at about 1 in the afternoon, the sea suddenly retreated by about 100 meters (330 feet), causing floods in some areas of St. Pierre. Refugees from other regions poured into Saint Pierre.

1902 On May 8th, it was Jesus ascensiontide. Mount Pere erupted and destroyed Saint Pierre. That night, the telegraph operator sent a report on volcanic activity to Fort-de-France, claiming that there was no obvious development of the volcano. His last telegram was at 7:52. Then the telegraph line was broken, and the cable maintenance ship at sea found that the mountainside of the volcano began to crack, and thick black volcanic cloud sprayed horizontally. The dark clouds rolled up and formed a huge mushroom cloud, which spread 50 miles (80 kilometers) in the sky. Volcanic cloud's initial speed is 670 kilometers (420 miles) per hour. The pyroclastic flow is heading for St. Pierre. Including superheated steam, volcanic gas and dust, the temperature of which exceeds 1 0,075℃ (10,967 ℉). Covering the whole city in one minute and igniting all combustible materials instantly.
After that, the rain was mixed with ashes and it rained cats and dogs for half an hour. In the next few hours, all communications in Saint Pierre were cut off, and no one knew what had happened. One witness said, "The volcano was blown to pieces." Another witness said, "The volcano is like a huge oil refinery." One person even said, "This town disappeared before our eyes."

1902 On April 26th, a passenger ship disappeared and was thought to be buried by pyroclastic flow. The passenger ship arrived in Port Saint Pierre at 6: 30 a.m. (shortly before the outbreak) and then sank. Its wreckage still exists on the coast of St. Pierre. Except for a little girl and a nurse, all passengers and 28 crew members died in the volcanic mudslide.
1902 On May 20th, Mount Pere erupted for the second time, destroying the surviving part of Saint Pierre, killing 2000 rescuers, engineers and sailors. 1902 On August 30th, a strong explosion made pyroclastic flow eastward.
