Tonga Tonga Tonga Where is John Belushi when you need him
Well, Krakatoans are brave!
There have been a significant number of decent sized earthquakes in recent months between Tonga and New Zealand that seem to match the graphic in the original post
The kermadec Tonga arc area.
Was one hell of a huge Phreatic Eruption.
Those are generally one and done events for a time after they happen.
There have been a few in the Mono Lake area of CA in the past.
In before Fauci tells me there’s nothing to worry about.
Tonga has been pre-disastered. This is the time to buy.
Truly, when we talk/write of such momentous events, it really shows how insignificant we as people are.
Most of what we observe in nature is totally out of scale as to what we can control.
A Yellowstone event would be spectacular and catastrophic. And uncontrollable.
“ In contrast to other Pacific Island countries, there is no common ground in Tonga. Tonga practices a somewhat feudal land ownership system. The whole land of Tonga belongs to the King, and therefore the King can grant the nobles and chiefs one or more properties to become their inheritance. Ownership of this property has passed only to male members of the family or clan. Every male over the age of 16 is entitled to 8.25 acres of farmland and a small plot to build his house.
“Foreigners can rent land for up to 99 years, subject to approval by the Cabinet. Owners of property for sale in Tonga can only rent five % of the total area of their property. No land is allowed to be sold.
….
With only 104,000 people, and these restrictions, good luck selling!
Real estate “going up” has a different meaning in the context of explosive volcanoes. Yeah, ot goes up all right - and comes down 1,000 miles away.
The hazard here is geologic, yet our friends in the media will label them as climate refugees
Now is the time to buy up ALL the land you can in Tonga. Its going for cheap.
So…
….you got THAT going for ya…
Real estate only goes up!
That only holds true if the real estate still exists.
At this point, there is neither any way to sell, or any way to leave. If that volcano blows like Krakatoa, everyone on Tonga is dead
Probably operating on the “bigger fool” approach.
well played
