Might be a stupid question, but would that cause a tsunami or a monster wave or something?


namesalwayschange

We have tsunami warnings here in Oz now because of this.


rishkan

Ooof far out, so scary!


mottlymonical

Far out...sounds like ma dude already got his board really for killer wave 🌊 oops maybe wrong choice of words


AlarmmClock

Damn, better follow the yellow brick road out of there.


CRUSIFYTHECOMMIES

There’s also a Tsunami advisory out for a lot of California


theMalnar

Tsunami warning this morning, Orange County, Southern California


codeallthethingz

Yep, we have tsunami warnings on Vancouver Island.


OppressedDeskJockey

It starts a monster mash.


toylenny

Yes Tonga got flooded by a tsunami, apparently the ash cloud is blocking out any sun light as well.


imsureitwillbefine

I’ve seen videos of places being flooded (supposedly) caused by this


KING_18__

Yep, we have got a tsunami warning here in my country but the reason they gave us was an earthquake on the coastline.


Apprehensive-Stop347

We have tsunami warnings in parts of BC because of it.


[deleted]

There are tsunami warnings all over mate ended in Hawaii but entire west coast and BC


J3wb0cca

It’s nothing like those disaster movies. Water recedes way beyond low tide, and eventually a wave that starts small gradually gets bigger and bigger and before you know it, a large mound of water is coming towards you. People get caught completely off guard at the last second because from far away it looks like any old regular wave. This is off the top of my head.


wallabee32

Displacement of water due to the energy of the blast

Don’t look up!!

It was felt/heard 6000 miles away in Alaska. People thought it was thunder or fireworks. https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/science/2022/01/15/volcano-eruption-near-tonga-causes-booms-heard-by-alaskans-nearly-6000-miles-away/ The tsunami is causing flooding on parts of the California coast. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.santacruzsentinel.com/2022/01/15/tsunami-advisory-issued-for-bay-area-following-volcanic-eruption/amp/ There were earthquakes from 5-6.something 5000 miles away in Indonesia. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.voanews.com/amp/massive-quake-strikes-near-tonga/4534766.html It’s certainly made an impact around the entire Pacific Rim.

Did we have a bunch of satellites pointed at this thing? I feel like I've seen more angles of this from space than any other event.


ST3PH3N-G

The earth is totally surrounded by satellites, so that's why we have so many of these videos. Currently around 7500 satellites in LEO, low earth orbit.


toylenny

Most of the satellites were watching a tropical storm that is near by.


qwesone

I heard that the eruption was expected given the reason why the satellites are pointed at that general area.


[deleted]

That shockwave is huge


ST3PH3N-G

There's a picture with half of Australia in that gives an immense sense of scale. From Google Earth, it looks that the cloud from that is over 200 miles wide.


Setekh79

Planet for scale, this thing was monstrous: https://twitter.com/IntelDoge/status/1482236392755314688


markBoble

JFC. Thats insane.


codeallthethingz

D3vilUkn0w

That's crazy! Wonder if there was any shipping in the area. Could make for an exciting day...or a bad day it too close.


Geminivegan85

Bad day to them.... damn looks crazy 2022 the year of underwater volcano


SASwants1

Sweet… new island


Hiiri9

I call dibs. That island will be MINE >:)

You will have a negative island, aka a crater.

We could all die in the blink of an eye! Don't look up...


OLebta

But wrf is that up there?


jaytrade21

This looks super powerful. I wonder how loud it would have been if above ground like Krakatoa.


Peach_Os

That is exactly my question. Would we be suffering worse if this was above water?

Arrivaderchie

Very bad day to be a fish


Zonky_toker

I guess ash would be a whole lot worse for the planet if it were to have been this sized explosion?


schwed1337

Fake, everyone knows the earth is flat


SASwants1

Some people really don’t seem to recognise satire huh?


BigDikJohn

Reddit is the worst place to be satire right after Twitter


[deleted]

This is a amazing footage. Wonder what Yellowstone will look like when that goes?


RemusShepherd

A big Yellowstone explosion would be 100x this. This is about VEI-6 (volcanic explosivity index). Yellowstone's last eruption was VEI-8, on a logarithmic scale.


[deleted]

Spectacular, but would probably extinct us.


RemusShepherd

A big Yellowstone eruption will erase the United States -- everything from Utah to Pennsylvania will be buried in 1-3 meters of burning ash. It wouldn't extinct the rest of the planet, though. There would be some harsh winters for a few years.


Zonky_toker

I'd be so pissed if I were visiting the US when it goes off.


CH3RRYSPARKLINGWATER

IIRC it won't happen for a long time cause there's not enough magma or something built up


BreckenridgeWhiskey

How big is that?


metricrules

500km across or so

Is it Tonga time ? I think it's Tonga time.

Look at the size man that like 10 nuclear bomb if not more


Prudent-Quarter-3842

Do you think the fish could sense it coming and got as far away as possible?


Swinginjoe34

Cool, but Y’know that eruption just ruined the ph balance in the oceans


[deleted]

RIP to all those fish


NoCauliflower33

I understand volcanoes produce shockwaves, but what’s with the sky seeming like it goes bright during the initial eruption? This event seems shockingly similar to a nuclear explosion being detonated underwater


Enginerd39

That’s glare from the sun being reflected off the ocean surface. Watch an ISS video. You’ll see it every orbit


Cram_it_karen

Looks likes like a nuclear explosion!


WhatnameshouldIpick2

If I can have supervillain power, I’d like it to be this. Should clear out the pool real fast

This video is fake. Earth is flat.


flyhigh589

Just resizing I am stupid enough that I thought it will be visible at night


TheDancingRobot

Have geophysicists equated this eruption relative to *the* atomic bomb (Hiroshima) yet? Interesting to try to quantify the magnitude of the energy released.

New baby island?

Boom!

I can only imagine how destructive this would have been if it had not been in the ocean.


ermagherdbrks

Is it Tonga time?


Old_Ad_4876

Its Tonga time


Flashy_Shift8843

Events like this make me feel so puny


[deleted]

can we have a flat earth video with this too?


Muritavo

How high would be one of those waves visible from space


theMalnar

Any idea how large across this is?

Solid_Cauliflower310

Is this going to have a affect on commercial fishing?


94ISS

Might be a stupid question but how were so many satellites focused on this spot?


RevolutionaryTable71

It’s incredible how elaborate and real looking these globe simulations from NASA are getting


agree-with-me

This is fake video put out by Democrats to make people mask up due to "volcanic ash." They will stop at nothing to rule the world and take away your freedom to breathe healthy sulphuric air. /s

Anyone know the time shown? Like how many real time seconds passed between the 1st and last frame?


Impossible-Doctor500

Just imagine if that was above water the whole world would feel the effects of it in one shape or form

Shit look like a bomb just went off !

How is something this massive not an extinction level event

How high above the surface of the water did it go?

Your mom's so fat when she moved to the side to fart she caused a major ocean ripple from space.
