Enormous eruption at Hunga Tonga volcano near Tonga in the S Pacific. I included

the east coast of Australia in the image so the scale of the ash cloud is abundantly clear.....

Indeed:

At least the Queries should have time to make it to higher ground or a kilometer inland as instructed. Let’s pray they all make it.

It’s hitting most of the news cycles abroad. Course our news gets it last if at all.

My thoughts, too! You are doing a grand job of keeping us informed. Thank you!

Comments from that amazing Twitter feed you posted earlier:

Bren.d.o: “Woah.... How that tsunami was only two feet makes no sense to me. That’s a miracle”

HankJ.W. “Tsunamis are created by the mass displacement of water during a tectonic event. An eruption with a lot of upwards thrust looks very impressive in the atmosphere but moves much less water than a whole ass tectonic plate playing bumper cars with the rest.”

I hope Hank knows whereof he speaks, for the sake of those still due to meet the tsunami.

Thanks for sending that amazing video. I hope damage and casualties locally are minimal. Thank God it wasn’t closer to U.S. territory!

Generally I can fetch plenty of photos but this event is on the Islands and there’s a time measure as well....so we’ll see but this is a major event .

NWS Portland
@NWSPortland
Event is currently being reviewed. This is in reference to the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai eruption. Disregard the “magnitude” - this is an unusual event that doesn’t fit our standard messaging.

Again, this event is currently being reviewed to determine #tsunami threat to WA/OR.

The island is grey, as ash have covered the whole island.”

Yeah you’re right. We’ll just have to see how far it goes. Hopefully it’s almost done.
Just had a thought; is that volcano part of the “Ring of Fire”?
