       Sounds like Tonga and Fiji are the new Pompeii.

       Still no newz from Tonga.  They are f*cked big time.  Wrong
       place at the wrong time to be a Sea Gypsy on your yacht.

       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”.
