How the Tonga volcano has been felt around the world 

It's always been powerful

@@HShango Nature is everywhere.

That is nothing, if supernova would explode within 25 light years away from earth it would be catastrophic to life, luckily there are no massive stars within that radius to earth to become supernovae.

@@slavakulishko3771 That has nothing to do with this and supernova explosions is VERY VERY RARE! Remember that this volcanic eruption that has just happened is more powerful than the most powerful nuclear weapon ever tested. This eruption has a Magnitude of 5 or even more!

Not to scare you but this isn’t even an itch

Well said

The other part people seem to forget is tsunamis are actually big, they're not high, they're big. The water that comes to surface is huge, then it keeps coming forward like it's just a beach wave until it reaches a point where it has to go back. To anyone finding it hard to understand why that's scary, ever played with a rubber band?

Look at Japan 2011

Exactly

@@smji5269 precisely. Expansion and retraction. The coming ashore is just the buildup.

Yes, it does. The output is just perfect for warnings

Very much like Half-Life

even prodigy of their meitary senser boeys, also moreless for tsunami, hurricane, tidal sensing/monitirong 7 other apps & oceanwide internet,etc akak starlink but for the ocean akak sealink!!!

BTW look at example form Battleship film

@@kt249 My thought as well :D

Crazy, interesting

you might be surprised to hear, but that was almost 11 years ago

Bruh! Natureeee

Buddy I don’t think no waves reached you in texas

😨

How do you know? were you there? there has been no updates in the last 24 hours

Trust me it's gonna get worse. We just might see another Tambora sooner or later.

@@MuhammadAliGOAT I heard that in parts of tonga tsunami waves reached 15m height

When you hear nonsense news tonga underwater and than the Karen start talking about us, Cali, British Columbia, Japan, China, South Korea but nothing about tonga Island

This is why I love the east coast

Always has been

this decade has been a stark reminder of what how dangerous and perilous can be if we won't limit the consequences of economics and finances on the environment: the eruption has nothing to do with it, but melting of glaciers and poles, extinction of species, shortage of foods, draughts, floods, massive emigrations that we will face are consequences of ecological disruption caused by human systems. Even a pandemic in its death tool is very little to what s going to happen for a shift of 2 degrees Celsius. When ecosystems change so abruptly in such short time, life can't cope to adjust.

it's a planet, things happen. deal with it

The virus wasn't really nature tho was it, hasn't it been confirmed it came from a lab?

like we need to prepare or even climate change will end life as we know it & our heritage will only deuterate

👍 During the Japan tsunami there was a boat moored at the dock, it was then shown heading straight out to sea as soon as it saw the tidal wave, and met it head on. I was panicked when I first watched it but then realized it was less likely to be smashed to pieces on the shore if it headed out to sea

You might be remembering the story of the Dutch ship "Gouverneur Generaal Loudon", captained by Johan Lindemann. The eruption was at Krakatoa in 1883. I'm not sure whether the captain saw the wave and turned the ship (visibility was very poor), or whether he realised, after hearing the massive explosion, that a tsunami was probable and turned the ship to face the volcano so that it would ride over the wave bow-first -- far safer than allowing the wave to come from behind. The crew had shovelled like mad to keep the decks clear of ash; and Captain Lindemann sent all the passengers down to the hold. His foresight and seamanship kept the ship's centre of gravity low, and helped prevent it from capsizing. His diary has been published.

Basic seamanship.

I heard a similar story out of Japan not long ago. Might have been that one around 2014 that hit Japan.

Always turn into a wave and if its big and you have engines and telegraphs - full speed ahead & three rings to tell the engineer full speed +. Broadside it'll capsize a small ship and potentially do serious hull damage to a large one, especially if it strikes at an angle. Try to maintain a speed if it's a storm or high sea that you can keep making progress but the hull isn't unsupported at any time.

It's not small. We made it small.

?????

What about the people affected? What about the people struggling to stay on their feet because of the waves? All you can do is say that this is incredible. Im ashamed

@@nick.3455 what else could you do? feel sorry? is that the extent of your resolve? Just to make people feel ashamed on the internet?

@@nick.3455 who hurt you? there's nothing wrong with admiring nature

@@namaereri7511 This was months ago bro. Ive matured now and yeah now I understand that admiring nature is fine.

i feel bad for the people that got hit by it and got killed rest and Peace to those people that got hit and killed. It also warn my area since I live in the west cost of CA but for some reason i didn't get the alert but my friend did and my aunt but we are fine they could put like a watch because we didn't get hit at all but hope the other places that got hit are ok

says you sitting in your little race car bed with your bib and blankey

@@colem2345 🤡

says the guy who was never there

@@MuhammadAliGOAT who meh? or the person that is above us 0-0

@@IBTU that was a bit harsh!

@@IBTU You have no idea what you're saying.

You can bet they knew, just likely some government official didn't feel like warning others, the same happend in Germany last year when heavy rains washed away multiple towns and villages and people only got warned by others (family members and firefighters that knew each other) more upstream that had already been hit.

You know it. Our Covid Alert level system change is more effective pinging our phones. Usually there is an annual Civil Defence warning on all phones to test it. Seems the test did nothing.

Yeah there is an observatory on New Britain in the west pacific that pretty much predicted this even two days prior to it occuring. The issue is that its not funded for tonga

Mid ocean speed of a tsunami is 500mph. It would have hot you in less than 4 hours. How could you be told a day before?

@@dougaltolan3017 Even if they didn't knew about it a day before, 4 hours is 4 hours to warn people.

And yet, without the molten core of the planet we wouldn't have the magnetic field that protect us from the deadly cosmic rays.

This planet is clearly unfit for habitation!

@@ian_b what?

@@boomclashgamer7444 What I said. It's a deathtrap.

@@ian_b You should embarq the next rocket to anywhere and fly away

Let me just stand here filming the sea withdrawing. This can't mean anything bad.

i was thinking wat fool that fellow was standing there filming. trying 2 b a hero.

We live in the age of the internet, people would rather record something for tiktok than save themselves

I’d like to think that sometimes people don’t grow up near the coast and instead only visit on a holiday, therefore ignorant to the signs of a tsunami

Amen Toko

Prayers for Tonga!! We love the people of Tonga and hope and pray they will get the help they need during this critical time!!

@@legionofgod6691 💙

@@flowergirl52 thank you Christine ! Much love 🙏🏽

Amen ❤️ Sending prayers to Tonga too, and I wish strength for you as well.

When the ocean starts running away, so should you

@@ItsKam That's what I was trying to say

🙌

Only 150-200 metres, so, kind of understandable, maybe? Still, massive eruption.

They said it’s because of the volatile nature of the extreme heat from the lava hitting the cool ocean water. It created a huge explosion instantaneously.

@@SpongesCrib wow

2021 - Forest fire 🔥

Thats not a big deal. You can even see rocket explosions in Gaza / Palastine sometimes. (or anywhere for that matter)

Perhaps another megathrust at least 8.5 Magnitude earthquake wanna wobble this year again...

@@RoBert-on1kb ARE PEOPLE STILL KILLING EACHOTHER IN THAT PART OF ISRAEL?!

@@wolfthunder2526 dont forget to throw another couple of EF5 tornadoes in there too

What do U mean by that lol ?

Don't believe everything you read on Fb..warnings were given within 30 minutes of eruption, these guys were not on the ball..

Seismic activity happens.

Volcanoes have always been dangerous bruv, this ain't new

BOO !!

@@wildone8397 People automatically gender me male on the internet. I'm totally ok with it.

Getting? Seismic activity is not increasing in danger, it just is what it is, and always has been

where they were from, has to be noted. I thought Peru and Japan performed admirably, the former, familiar, with the potential horror script, these events can cause.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the two people who died were doing just that sort of thing

Where's your number [3] comment?

@@brentshuffler1234 ooh you sound like my teacher

Greed, stupidity and money will never allow such changes...sorry to say :(

More like the big players should be held accountable for climate change. People in those areas have settled there for millennia. Why should they upend their way of life?

@@LaughableSynonyms We can easily empathise with those in indigenous communities that are being disrupted by the pollution, by the imported fast-food diets, and by the excessive garbage, packaging, and fossil-fuel usage inspired by the Western industrial nations. However, even without global warming caused by human activities in the past 40 years, there would be many an example you could find . . . (e.g., hurricanes: Barbados, 1955; earthquakes: Japan, Mexico, California; tsunamis: over 300,000 dead some years ago in Indonesia and surrounding Asian countries; volcanic eruptions [a] in St. Vincent: April, 1979, and again April, 2021; [b] in Montserrat: 1995 to 2010) . . . that can destroy lives, properties, and entire villages if they are too near to the coast or bodies of water. In recent months, even Germany (advanced nation) had deadly flooding in communities that were located along a river . . . with lost lives and massive widespread damage. Every year, Western U.S.A. and British Columbia in Canada are prime examples of frequent, numerous and large-scale wildfires, any of which can cause loss of life/homes/properties if persons are too near to forests.

Philippines: wait, there was supposed to be a tsunami? Okay for real, it took me until now to realised this, and guess what Neither warnings nor an effect from the Tonga eruption were recovered in my country, WHATSOEVER

Unfortunately humans aren't too wise

Antivaxxer?

@Jay Dee Both

Djokovic called it in

and then what happened?

Tonga is cut off from the world... all cables that run any type of communication, internet, phn etc has been severed by the tsunami.

What’s Tongo?

Should know that technology can't even predict correctly lol

Really shows how sudden it was

Thought it would be the governments fault

I also am in NZ, there was a tsunami alert however this came after the threat was over and the damage was done!

Achtung tsunami comiiiiinng

It was n under sea volcano 🌋 not n Earthquake there's a difference

It wasn't an earthquake - it was a volcano.

Yea, im in New Zealand waiting for official warning but nothing yet. im also in the skinniest part... 1km from coast to coast.

@@JGold-cu5mo well the comms r down so there prob is one right now

@@JGold-cu5mo Don't expect anything any time soon, here's an idea, just yell out Omicron is in the community and then maybe you'll get an immediate response from the authorities.

Wait, there's another eruption that happened now?

@@JGold-cu5mo Fai pregare tutti insieme 🙏🙏🌹🤗

looking at the magnitude of this, I bet there will be very little Tonga left. I hope I'm wrong.

@@quoth_raven Yes probably quite a few people will die.

was it like a cymbal or a crash?

At 2 in the AM Saturday? Because that is when the first surge wave from the tsunami came in 30 feet onshore and literally wiped out some families camping at South Point here on Hawai’i island. 10 pm news said there was no concern and that buoys near Tonga didn’t pick up a tsunami.

@@hawaiijiujitsu if there is an event like this and I'm near the shore, I'm going inland no matter what!

Right? Worst those people got were some wet clothes and cell phones in rice.

Yes you're right... people have no idea. The mayans were right but the dates weren't translated properly. 12/21/2025 will be our time.

@@illumin8everything817 Except it won't.

@@normhiscock352 hopefully you're right

@@illumin8everything817 If the Mayans were right then accept that they used a cyclical calendar and never said the world was going to end.

Mount Pinatubo eruption in 1991 famously dropped Earth's average global temperature by half a degree for a couple of years. The chief way volcanoes do this is by injecting vast quantities of sulphur dioxide into the atmosphere. SO2 combines with water to make a haze of tiny droplets, or aerosols, that reflect incoming solar radiation. The satellites data from this eruption shows that it there is 400,000 tonnes of SO2 injected into the atmosphere, but 0.4 teragrams is actually not enough to cause significant cooling effects.

@Ptao Tom we lived by the sea for so many years....we learnt how to survived and used it as our home...
