The eruption in Montserrat in 1995 was a catastrophic event but it did not have a specific Richter scale measurement because the scale is typically used to measure earthquakes, not volcanic eruptions. Instead, volcanic eruptions are typically measured using the Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) which gives a sense of the eruption's intensity and explosiveness.
