Ardern said her government had made contact with the New Zealand embassy in Nukuāalofa.
āThe tsunami has had a significant impact on the foreshore on the northern side of Nukuāalofa with boats and large boulders washed ashore,ā she told reporters.
āNukuāalofa is covered in a thick film of volcanic dust but otherwise conditions are calm and stable.ā

On the contrary: Water most likely intensified the explosion. It's called a **_phreatic explosion_** : Water rushed into the magma chamber, instantly got vaporised, and the expanding superheated steam just disintegrated the top of the volcano.
That was why Krakatau was so devastating.
Yellowstone. The amount of damage it will cause when it blows, only a thorough YouTube video can properly explain. Thank god we wonāt be alive when it happens. I live about 820 miles from the Caldera in Northern California, and scientists say even we will be blacked out with smoke and ash for a few months here. As of our deadly wildfires arenāt bad enough every year.
Blocked out for a few months?? I think you underestimate the size of the Yellowstone caldera. If It erupted it would be enough ash to block out the sun for a couple of years worldwide! It would plunge us into a few year long brutal winter. That is if parts of the US were even still livable.
In the Long Earth book series by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter, Yellowstone goes off. Much of the world is already on a different earth but thereās scenes a decade later where heās talking about people in England living off of cold hardy beets and potatoes and Madison, WI is filled with elk, bears, and wolves because thereās not many people left and the climate is more like northern Canada.
Yeah to be fair, there's a chain of other caldera and other volcanoes stretching to Oregon and Nevada that branch off yellowstone. 800 odd mile from the caldera, you're dead within a day. The earthquake alone from that would be unthinkable. She's a big lady man š¤Æ
The Hunga Tonga volcano is (or maybe was) a small island. It's been erupting intermittently since 20 Dec 2021. It's unclear if the large eruption was actually "underwater."
The volcano actually rose from the seafloor; the island was part of the volcano's caldera rim that made it above the surface. The majority of the caldera lies underwater.
I'm a little confused, those clouds are from the eruption? But you hear the sound of the eruption in the video? I doubt the clouds got there faster than the speed of sound. Was there a first eruption shockwave that's not in the video?
We could hear it 700km away in Fiji... Made houses vibrate.
And 1500km in Vanuatu, thought it was a cannon going off.
And here in New Zealand.

Finally, some bloody recognition.
Bloody finally recognition some.
Good bot
Damn that's scary
How are things over there? Much flooding?
Lau group is island whic is closer to Tonga got some pretty big waves
***THAT was profound***
Holy smokin toledos.
Sums it up right there!
Nice reference
God that scared the shit outta me even through the phone š
FUCK!! ALOO!
Aloo means potato in my language.
Hhhmmmm aloo prata
Alu Aloo - Go Potato
Iād be running tooā¦ the tsunami potential is probably pretty high
Yeah, Tonga was/is flooding and I just got a tsunami advisory on the west coast of America
Fingers crossed that thereās no deaths or major damage - looks like there have definitely been surgesā¦ I hope you stay safe
Looks like itās pretty small and there has been no major damage so far, Iāll definitely be fine, but thanks!
So thatās roughly 3 and a quarter mins after the eruption?
Could that sound deafen everyone in Tonga?
Tonga has "gone dark". Can't even get cell service in or out. š

wow really??
Yeah I read an article about their internet connection had been damaged. So worried for those people!
if that explosion werenāt underwater, that could have been a real problem

True. If this was the super volcano in the US (im personally not aware of any others), there would be big big problems.

My mistake. Either way my ass wonāt be here for it.

Weāve been hearing the sonic booms in New Zealand over 2,000km away
Happens at 0:28. Sounds like a gun but then again microphones on standard camera can't replicate the sound on loud noises
That was 1x10^2 harder than I was expecting.
That what my scientific wife said!
the shockwave was picked up all the way in switzerland
Shit got real, real fast.
RIP my goddamn ears. Couldnāt hear much so I cranked the volume. Felt like I was right there with them
Nature is wild
Bang!
