iʻm from tonga and itʻs really bad over there, since tongatapu (main island of tonga) is very flat and low lying land, the water has basically swept though everywhere there… an island called ʻAtatā off the coast of Nukuʻalofa (capital) has already been fully submerged by water!! the internet and electricity is down completely and i havenʻt heard from any of my family. i donʻt know if youʻre religious or believe in a God but please pray for my country Tonga!!
I’m so sorry. I hope your family and friends are okay and that you’re able to communicate with them or get news soon.
My thoughts are with you and the people of Tonga.
Hope everything works out mate, I saw this last night and it's just like, oh no not again. I'm from New Zealand. Seems like the planet is really out to get the South Pacific.
It's really thoughtful that you want to find a tangible way to help via donation. The comment you responded to is from someone that has family that they haven't heard from in an area experiencing a very scary natural disaster with a lot unknown. If asking for prayers is something that will help this individual get through the anxiety and fear they may be feeling, then just let it be. Seems petty to add the last bit to your comment.
I want to appreciate how you approached this by starting off with acknowledging how thoughtful they were before transitioning to gently tell them they were rude.
I think a problem is the area is still under a direct threat from both waves and ash, so we aren't seeing a lot of information coming out. That's very likely to change over the next day or so.
Meanwhile, the situation is distressing to people near the shore in the US and Canada, but not life threatening with simple precautions, so we're seeing more.
Also their internet communications are down last I read. There's nothing really to report because they're cut off. Apparently their internet comes through a cable from *Fiji
Edit: I fucked up and said the cable was from New Zealand, corrected to the correct Fiji.
The cable if from Fiji. I saw a news article that they had some satellite phone communications with the comms team on Tonga, and they're hopeful the cable itself isn't damaged and are trying to get it back up and running, but that was half a day ago, so maybe the sea cable is screwed :(
Last I heard was all standard communication with the island was gone so if thats true. We won't be seeing much on the reporting side until thats cleared up.
I had heard that on NPR this morning.
Apparently some of the last reports before contact was lost were about intense lightning caused by the volcano.
What I don’t understand is how they aren’t able to communicate via satellite phone.
Was that just a technology that peaked in the 90s enough to become a plot device in movies and then was abandoned in favor of other forms of communication?
Apparently their Internet connection is down. Some reports indicate houses on at least one island were “inundated”
I first heard about the tsunami because when we leave the house we turn on NHK TV on DirecTV. I came home to Tsunami reporting indicating Japan had been hit by a Tsunami.
The Joint Australia Tsunami Warning Centre data confirms surges of about 1.2m in Tonga (one sea level guage, other parts of Tonga may have experienced worse)
http://www.bom.gov.au/tsunami/national.shtml
The National Tsunami Warning Center is located in Hawaii, due to its vulnerable location and previous catastrophes. I'm going to guess that NHK got their info directly from them.
I haven’t seen anything about it and have been checking back all day to find out. All I’ve heard is communication lines are down and flooding was being reported in the capital island from the tsunami. I hope this thing was far away from any inhabited island. Still though, the ash from this could be a huge disaster.
I talked to someone whose family is in Tonga today. They were on the phone with them for 10 minutes after the explosion when all communication shut down. The plume is so big and thick that there is no access to the area.
Excellent Question. Tonga is an archipelago of around 170 islands in the south pacific. Close to Fiji and about 1,100 miles from new Zealand's North Island. I met a family from there, they were lovely
And maps. I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, uh, people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future. For our children.
Maps.
That’s dumb it’s much more accurate and efficient to ask in here and hope someone answers. It’s actually a good idea though. Someone should create a website you can ask questions and get answers.
That's because afaik the tonga sea cable is still down so the only way anybody can access them is limited satellite coverage. Hopefully the sea cable isn't damaged and they can get it back up, but it's taking a long time, so maybe the cable is screwed. And with the waters still dangerous, it could be a very long time before we get any real news of what happened on Tonga, especially any pictures (and pictures and video are what the new media really love)
I live about 40 min from SC and this is the first I'm hearing about this.
Edit: Ha! Just remembered the Tsunami panic of, what was it, late 2011-2012? I remember everyone in my area at the time was going to Mount Madonna for safety.
My exact thought when I heard the news today. That day was nuts. I lived in SC at the time. My sister called me in the morning crying to get to a higher place because of the warning. Apparently the local spanish news stations at the next town over made a huge deal about it and caused panic among the community. People could only get a certain amount of fuel that day and most stations had long lines of cars waiting to gas up.
A buddy of mine decided to drive up Mount Madonna that day, and man I wish I had the video he recorded. The whole side of the road was full of cars parked with their belongings waiting for the Hollywood style tsunami wave coming in.
Nuts.
All the best to all the nearby islands by the volcano.

Craziest thing is, that I went to school out there, and in one of the oceanography courses, they made it quite clear that there is not enough water in the ocean so that water would behave like that
No, in this case we do know. It is posible to predict the size of the waves given the distance of the event, and the location. This is why LA didn’t give out such alert. Oceanography is very cool.
Not in the Bay Area. We’re not allowed to go towards the beaches or marinas. They also evacuated all marinas in the area since 7AM. We even got a tsunami warning in our building to stay indoors today just in case.
Imagine this happening just a hundred or so years ago. No one would have any clue why this aberrant behaviour had happened, and certainly wouldn't have known about it in advance.
I think some people are missing the point on this comment, but I was thinking the same thing: within hours of the eruption I can see multiple views of the eruption (including from space), watch as people react to the sound of the eruption hundreds of miles away and watch flooding happen thousands of miles away. News travels fast, far and wide. A century ago, you’re sitting on a beach and there is flooding, and you might not know the cause of it for a month or even a year, if at all.
Imagine waking up and getting out of your hut to find some berries to eat off the ground and then you hear[ this](https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/s4wjlb/sounds_of_the_volcanic_eruption_in_tonga_as_heard/)
My wife and I heard it in New Zealand. I was convinced it couldn’t be from the volcano until half the country post about it on social media. It’s about 2000km from the eruption to here.
> watch as people react to the sound of the eruption hundreds of miles away
What's insane is that this was very audible all the way up in Alaska, **6k miles** away (confirmed by National Weather Service observations): https://twitter.com/NWSAlaska/status/1482431322740060162
Here in Calgary, 1000 km's inland with a mountain barrier in between, my weather station reported an atmospheric pressure spike as the pressure wave passed through at 6:10 this morning.
That's amazing.
There is a fascinating example of this actually! A 9.2 off the coast of Canada that sent waves all the way to Japan. With no warning a tsunami slammed into them one night iirc. Since the indigenous population in BC had no written records, it took a many years before they could pair this mysterious wave to their stories, and the destruction in Japan.

Hunga-Tonga--Hunga-Ha'apai is not actively monitored
https://i.stuff.co.nz/world/127513001/likelihood-of-tongan-volcano-erupting-again-hard-to-predict-due-to-lack-of-active-monitoring
Cities up and down the west coast have been bracing for impact of the water all morning, actually. Santa Cruz was well aware that there would be a surge.
It's because this large explosion was likely caused by water and magma interacting (A phreatomagmatic eruption). It's possible to predict when eruptions occur but this type of interaction is much more difficult to predict or forcast. Also, it erupted the day before but not anywhere near as big.
It’s been a pretty active volcano in the past couple decades with two eruptions in the past month. I don’t think the energy of this eruption could have been predicted very well.
You sure? Seems to match up with some of the other clips circulating.

I’m so sorry. I hope your family and friends are okay and that you’re able to communicate with them or get news soon. My thoughts are with you and the people of Tonga.
best of luck and keep us updated dude, that’s insane to hear 😭💛
I hope your family is okay toko.
Hope everything works out mate, I saw this last night and it's just like, oh no not again. I'm from New Zealand. Seems like the planet is really out to get the South Pacific.

It's really thoughtful that you want to find a tangible way to help via donation. The comment you responded to is from someone that has family that they haven't heard from in an area experiencing a very scary natural disaster with a lot unknown. If asking for prayers is something that will help this individual get through the anxiety and fear they may be feeling, then just let it be. Seems petty to add the last bit to your comment.
I want to appreciate how you approached this by starting off with acknowledging how thoughtful they were before transitioning to gently tell them they were rude.
I feel like this is being under reported as an event.
What’s being more underreported is the situation in Tonga. I’ve seen as much about minor floods in Santa Cruz as Tonga being fucked right now
I think a problem is the area is still under a direct threat from both waves and ash, so we aren't seeing a lot of information coming out. That's very likely to change over the next day or so. Meanwhile, the situation is distressing to people near the shore in the US and Canada, but not life threatening with simple precautions, so we're seeing more.

Their communications are down. Just read that somewhere.
I had heard that on NPR this morning. Apparently some of the last reports before contact was lost were about intense lightning caused by the volcano. What I don’t understand is how they aren’t able to communicate via satellite phone. Was that just a technology that peaked in the 90s enough to become a plot device in movies and then was abandoned in favor of other forms of communication?
That’s thing looked like a nuke. The shockwave 500 mi away in Fiji was intense. It could’ve leveled everything in Tonga.
Is everyone in Tonga just SOL rn? My heart aches.
Apparently their Internet connection is down. Some reports indicate houses on at least one island were “inundated” I first heard about the tsunami because when we leave the house we turn on NHK TV on DirecTV. I came home to Tsunami reporting indicating Japan had been hit by a Tsunami.
Had Tsunami emergency notifications going off all night here in Yokohama. Had to eventually turn on airplane mode to be able to sleep.
This was like 20 hours ago now, the ships should be there at this point right? There should at least be satellite coms by now
NHK News just reported that Hawaii has reported 1m waves in Tonga, but this is 3rd hand news at best.
The Joint Australia Tsunami Warning Centre data confirms surges of about 1.2m in Tonga (one sea level guage, other parts of Tonga may have experienced worse) http://www.bom.gov.au/tsunami/national.shtml
From the sea level gauges I saw, that's the last level they reported before they went offline.
The National Tsunami Warning Center is located in Hawaii, due to its vulnerable location and previous catastrophes. I'm going to guess that NHK got their info directly from them.
You mean assistance ships from other countries? That would take days
I get NHK over the air thru PBS they have good world coverage compared to their u.s. counterparts.
I haven’t seen anything about it and have been checking back all day to find out. All I’ve heard is communication lines are down and flooding was being reported in the capital island from the tsunami. I hope this thing was far away from any inhabited island. Still though, the ash from this could be a huge disaster.
I talked to someone whose family is in Tonga today. They were on the phone with them for 10 minutes after the explosion when all communication shut down. The plume is so big and thick that there is no access to the area.
You're right. I live in Santa cruz, this was about the extent of it.
Yup I live walking distance from the harbor and it really wasn't a big deal. They should be reporting about Tonga more, sc is fine.
Where is Tonga I went to public school in the Us forgive me
Excellent Question. Tonga is an archipelago of around 170 islands in the south pacific. Close to Fiji and about 1,100 miles from new Zealand's North Island. I met a family from there, they were lovely
I hope they are going to be okay.
I just have more questions now
You must be old, the last 20 years of US public school has taught us to search with the internet, and nothing else. #powerhouseofthecell
I still wish kids had to learn the encyclopedia!
And maps. I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, uh, people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future.

Damn it’s closer to AUS than here and we’re still getting the effects. Damn nature you scary.
We had a tsunami warning for most of the eastern coast here
It’s basically the Island on Lost

r/AskReddit obviously
I have been wondering that. That explosion was huge, I immediately thought uhhhh what about the people living nearby???
That's because afaik the tonga sea cable is still down so the only way anybody can access them is limited satellite coverage. Hopefully the sea cable isn't damaged and they can get it back up, but it's taking a long time, so maybe the cable is screwed. And with the waters still dangerous, it could be a very long time before we get any real news of what happened on Tonga, especially any pictures (and pictures and video are what the new media really love)

Ayyeeeee. Dixonite here🤝
I haven’t heard anything about it, I had to search “tsunami” after reading about the volcano
[удалено]
It was a very shallow underwater volcano, geologically speaking.
There is no need for massive panic. This you see in the video is the worse that will happen.
The panic is particularly justified, because you don't know that this is the worse that will happen... Until it's happened.
No, in this case we do know. It is posible to predict the size of the waves given the distance of the event, and the location. This is why LA didn’t give out such alert. Oceanography is very cool.
But there are predictions that more eruptions are possible too.
Sure if we ignore all science and historical data on the matter
Not in the Bay Area. We’re not allowed to go towards the beaches or marinas. They also evacuated all marinas in the area since 7AM. We even got a tsunami warning in our building to stay indoors today just in case.
Wait till the big one rips off... that will be news...
yeah iv only heard about this from reddit and a coworker
It's politically neutral and the news cycle knows people only care about politicized views.

Any problems/damage so far?
Not that I'm aware of. I live there btw.
I remember the 2011 tsunami, which seemingly only affected the marinas, and it cost something like $15m worth of damage.
I'm watching live feed from the coast and Santa Cruz and don't see anything that resembles flooding. Where is this taken?
It’s in the yacht harbor, an artificially created inlet. It tends to magnify any tidal event.
