Sounds like Tonga and Fiji are the new Pompeii.

I am finding the total dearth of information from Tonga to be
pretty worrisome. Does NOBODY on the island have a shortwave
radio? Not even the government? No Yahties? NOBODY has a
satelite phone or dish uplink? We're talking more than 100K of
people.
OK. What do we know?
A Tsunami hit, not a huge one only about 4', but there is almost
no "high ground" on those islands, they are as flat as pancakes.
Most people live quite near the shore.
HUGE ASH plume, the sat videos are amazing. That ash gotta come
down.
So, there is likely no drinkable water, the air close to
unbreathable, muck everywhere, no electricity...
The NZ Kiwi Navy is still probably a day or 2 away moving at top
speed.
It's not a good situation.

Expect tourists at beachside resorts on all Pacific islands to
be most likely to drown. The same people did the equivalent of
jumping into a 🌋 already.

Agreed there, but how many tourists are tanning on Tonga beaches
at any given time these days? It's not EZ to get to, not like
Fiji or Tahiti.

More googling can often cure random bouts of Doomer-hysteria. Or
deliberate ignorance because hey, when you see the boogie man in
your home you are either a child or...you know.....don't know
anything about circuit breakers?
Australia’s minister for the Pacific, Zed Seselja, says initial
reports suggest no mass casualties in Tonga following the
eruption of a volcano that triggered a tsunami, but Australian
police have visited beaches with significant damage and “houses
thrown around”.
