NHK is still in Combat Mode and all the coastal rise meters there are >1 meter. The real feel is that the immediate traumatic damage has happened over the past few hours, but this has big long-tail effects on all the Pacific supply chains. It's a good thing western society isn't dependent on supercheap commerce shipping from southeast asia. <checks notes>

Oh, also, high tide just hit in Japan, so.

Compared to Kanto, you can see that it was a tremendous eruption. The exact scale is not yet known, but it is incomparably large compared to the eruptions envisioned at Mt. Fuji and the eruptions that occur on a daily basis at Sakurajima."

very good thing that it occurred on an uninhabited island and the nearest inhabited island is ~30-40 km away. doubt fishermen have been going around there, the volcano's been erupting explosively for months and the water around it was deadly to fish. biggest risk for direct death was probably the tsunami, and maybe the ashfall collapsing roofs if it's heavy.

All the damage sucks but it doesn't seem like all that many people have gotten hurt or killed.

Just an amazing and terrifying event.

Tonga itself has no internet at the moment, but the death toll is probably pretty low. The eruption occurred on an isolated, uninhabited island dozens of km away from everyone and the tsunami was reportedly relatively small (<2m) even on nearby islands.

I saw this video from last night of emergency services and cops evacuating a metro beach in Australia due to the tsunami warning and the people on the beach remind me of people who get real weird about wearing masks.

The video doesn’t show the actual waves, just the evacuation but afaik there were small tsunamis hitting the beach all night which makes swimming in the ocean… not ideal

Going to the beach at literally any time in the summer is proof of this

I'm not even there that often and I see like 2-3 rescues every year, even at my tiny shithole beach
