Volcanic Eruption Was 600 Times More Powerful Than Hiroshima, Many Tongans Went Deaf During Explosion

Last week’s eruption of the volcano near the Pacific island nation of Tonga was 600 times more powerful than the nuke dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, in World War II. As a result, the eruption was so loud that many Tongans went deaf after the first explosion.

“The first explosion…our ears were ringing and we couldn’t even hear each other, so all we do is pointing to our families to get up, get ready to run,” Marian Kupu, a journalist on Tonga, told Reuters.

The eruption was so loud that it could be heard across the world, even thousands of miles away in Alaska.

“This might be the loudest eruption since Krakatau in 1883,” Michael Poland, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey, told NPR.

On Tuesday, the first satellite images shared by Maxar Technologies showed the tiny island nation is smothered in volcanic ash, and building structures were destroyed after a tsunami.

Days later, with limited communications due to a severed undersea communications cable between Tonga and Fiji, pictures showed the devastation on city streets.

New Zealand’s 1 News reveals the first look of the streets of Nuku’alofa, Tonga’s capital, coated with ash.

Areas on the water were utterly devastated by the tsunami

The island’s airport was cleared of ash and fixed on Thursday, allowing New Zealand and Australian military transport planes to deliver generators, hygiene supplies, freshwater, and communications equipment.

"Wouldn't be surprised if the entire population of Tonga (about 100,000) is relocated to New Zealand. "

I believe many of the residents of the small island nations qualify for welfare from the USA.

Yep. Incendiary bombs were the weapon of the day there. Something a bit more “explosive” was needed in Germany with all the brick and stone structures.

After the Krakatoa eruption in 1883, ships 40 miles from the explosion returned home with completely deaf crews. Yeah, these things can be load.

If we haven’t already, we need to develop the Volcanator.

A sudden volcano near Moscow would put any Ukraine invasion on hold. Plus it offers plausible deniability.

“Volcano? No we didn’t do anything. Sorry about your luck.”

Relatively minor to these :

Tonga released only about 0.1 cubic miles (0.5 cubic kilometers). Tonga : much ado about not much, volcanically.

FYI. It didn’t say 600 times louder. It said 600 times more powerful. I don’t think they translate the same.

People, in London, reported that the sky was so bright that they could read the newspaper at midnight outside.

Is Xenu up to his old tricks of trying to clear out the overpopulated Galaxy?

Stop with the foil! All foil is now aluminum and turns your head into a giant transceiver. They haven’t made tin foil since 1946, it’s all part of the worldwide post war commie conspiracy. The fruits of which we are now just realizing.

Hit and run I see.

Do not be shy, please explain to all of us.

Thanks.

Hmmmm. Thirty years ago I read and approved engineering specifications.

I was in Seattle both times Mt St. Helens blew. I never heard anything

May 18, 1980 : I lived in Port Townsend, WA, 40 miles north of Seattle and heard it erupt that morning, our house shook. It only had one (1) major eruption.

Don’t know about your character, Xenu. The “theory” was bantered around yesterday on a similar thread by some FReeper.

640 cu km..IN ONE DAY.

Spinal Tap turned it up to 11.

[PIF]

Yeah. Okay, a nuke and not one nation’s sensors for radiation picked anything up? Alrightythen.

Yep - was one of those non-radioactive/no fall out types that they got from the Grays. I think it was the the Grays, could have been the Hybrids - have to check with Majestic 12, over in Roswell.

No way some one lobbed a scientific package into the crater - that would be just too ordinary, and put hard working tinfoil hat makers right out of business, which has been slow due to Brandon’s ever worsening shipping backup, cutting timely tinfoil deliveries

[cuban leaf]

Wow. Must have been a standing wave thing. :)

“was only a 4-5 on the VEI”

They dont know that yet. But it wasnt as huge as many believe.

Lots of discussion about the size yet among the volcanologists.
It was definitely a phreatic event that set it off.

Abt 400,000 tons of SO2 in first estimates.

Ton-ga! Ton-ga! Ton-ga!

Oh wait, that’s toga!
