Tonga tsunami

[Immaculate Vibes 114]

Pretty ballsy of this dude to film it. Triggered by an underwater volcanic eruption.

If you don't have anywhere to go but your roof you might as well film it.

That smoke and ash the 2nd best thing to come out of Tonga.

The first?

I was hoping this was a new NIL deal to establish a permanent pipeline into Euless Trinity offensive linemen.  

[Hate 20,145]

Tonga is only 45 miles from the volcano, so those people didn't have time to go anywhere.  As far tsunamis go though, that one doesn't seem to be too deadly.  It's definitely going to cause a lot of property damage though. 

[Gil Bang 26,019]

I tried to head over to the coast, but the cops have the beaches closed.  Hope @Sbbruin doesn't get any damage to the boat.

Sorry I’m missing the fun.  Not going to reach Tahoe, is it?

In this loop, the frames that show its size and distance in relation to Australia are impressive. Keep your eye on the far right a little below the midline. The plume is massive - looks to be at least the size of Ohio or almost Colorado if I'm judging it correctly.

The last time I watched footage like that (tsunami waves crashing in), Vince Young was about to fuck up Michigan in the Rose Bowl.

That fast moving ring around it… Is that a sound wave or just initial burst of dust? Or actual wave?

[Hate 20,145]

Sound.

Was about to hike to Alamere Falls in Point Reyes when I got the advisory. Sheesh, that was close. 

[Prepuce of Doom 21,103]

Split the island in two.

They have somewhere to go: Euless.

Ha, just saw your comment. First thing I thought of was DFW baggage handler and Trinity football.

I think it was a non event, but I think I better head down just to be safe.  And then spend the weekend down there.

Wow Santa Cruz Harbor got wrecked in the Chile “tsunami” maybe 10-12 years ago.  It was the only one.  Ventura Harbor had rushing water, but that was it.  Cat Harbor on the backside of Catalina got whipped too.

i mean it's like a surprise no warning flash flood at your house, not a tsunami that will just scrape the landscape. This ruined all that shit.

[Hate 20,145]

This wasn’t a very big volcanic explosion either. That was maybe a VEI 2. There should be little to no impact on the global temps as a result of this.

How long will the general area be impacted? Skies and water? Clarity, health hazards? How far will the impact reach?

Tell that to the chain link fence in the video.

Those closest to the eruption will likely be more impacted by the three feet of water in their homes and businesses from the tsunami than from the eruption itself.

Island that blew up was smaller 7 years ago when a volcano erupted and then it grew in size.

Interesting vid from Scott Manley on the eruption. Cool to see the data showing the pressure wave propagating through the US (3:30 into the video)

 

[Vito Andolini 9,132]

I’ve seen another angle.

You'd kind of think it would be more transient than that (up down), but I guess thousands of miles away it attenuates into a gradual pressure rise.

So according to this, that video above if the eruption was actually the smaller eruption a day before.
