100 lightning bolts per SECOND. Wow, that must be something to see.
“Once the volcano is de-gassed, it will settle down.” — cue the burrito jokes! Who wants to go first?
Strange when the Japanese quake hit we were roused from our homes early in the morning with tsunami sirens and sheriffs knocking on doors.
This one? Nothing at all. I wonder if anyone is even manning the stations since no other country did much. The water came about thirty feet from our home, Like a King high tide. No one up and down the street even knew a thing.
Just Damn.
There may not be anybody to rescue if this goes on much longer. I have been to Tonga. It is a low lying island. It would not take much or a tsunami to completely inundate the island.
Not a good comparison with Pinatubo. Not only were their volcanologists crawling all over it until the last minute, but the US base commander (Col. Jeffrey R. Grime, commander of the 3rd Tactical Fighter Wing at Clark Air Force Base) next door thoroughly had his stuff together and did everything right and in a timely manner.
A good indicator is taking video of a pyroclastic flow closing in on your location at high speed. This means you waited a tad too long.
Ring Of Fire...you’ve gotta expect bumpy times.
The “experts “ didn’t see this coming. What makes people think they know what’s going to happen from now on?
“A second major eruption has been detected at the Hunga Tonga volcano on Monday”
So it aint done. We may get to see a real Jim dandy. Maybe a VEI 7. Pinatubo was a 6. Tambora a 7.
If its still giving it hell, meaning vast amounts of sulphur gases are being released.
This WILL effect the southern hemisphere weather.
Sounds like something Biden would say between actual words.
Evening news said Australian air force was sending observation planes because of communication disruption and lack of information of what was happening on the ground in Tonga
I try to imagine what the early Earth must have been like when the surface was boiling molten rock. Then I’m glad that I wasn’t there!
That's because we secretly blew up SPECTRE's secret underwater base.
