Volcano eruption in Tonga. Incredible footage.

Mother of God.

That's a little alarming when you see earth from afar, see how noticeable the eruption is, and realize that an eruption much bigger could happen in another location.

I’ve been on a volcano kick lately myself. Kind of ran out of alien and archeological documentaries.

Amazing footage. I live at the beach and we had the warning. It didn't materialize though

[Mark1T]

Brings back memories of the Japan Tsunami of 2011.

Horrific but amazing imagery.

Ho Lee Chit.

I follow a local weather dood. He pointed out today how the pressure here in PA, thousands of miles away, suddenly dropped. All from the eruption.

That eruption affected the world in one form or another.

The power of Nature. Just wow.

The Philippines has some of the worlds most beautiful and deadliest volcanoes.

One is Mayon. The most perfect shape volcano.

Another is Pinatubo. The US bases shutdown because of the damage.

Then you have Taal. Imagine a yuuge ass lake. In the middle of the lake is the volcano. And inside the volcano is another lake. And people live on the base of the volcano and the around the big lake.

You like volcanoes. My old hood has volcanoes. Lol.

There is so much energy within our planet.

Mount Saint Helens released 24 megatons of energy, 1600 times that of Hiroshima:

That = Big boom!

Great guy -- gave me extra duck sauce with my last order.

I grew up about 250 miles from Yellowstone (family still lives there). We used to wonder how problematic it would be for us if Yellowstone actually blew. Apparently, and as confirmed by your video, it would be quite a problem indeed.

Yup, I remember that well. Covered my town in ash.

Yep several of those mentioned were on the mega disasters episode. Then several of them that didn’t get fuked by the pyroclastic flows and ash fallout got wrecked by Lahars a year later during monsoons and all that ash turns into a raging flowing semisolid that takes out everything in its path.

My dad visited the Philippines a few years back. He has a picture riding a donkey on top of the mouth of TAAL. Dad is a balsy mofo.

And you're right about the ashes and the monsoons. I live in Northeast PA now. The 'worst' things mother nature can throw at us here are blizzards and freezing rain. I always remind myself it could be worse. Like earthquakes, monsoons / typhoons, tsunami, and volcanic eruptions. All too common back in the Islands. And I have seen severe damages from these as a kid.

We all have to remind ourselves one thing: RESPECT NATURE. Dats fo sho.
