Upon review, in my expert opinion

, I rate this a 5 on the VEI scale similar in scope to Mt St Helens and Vesuvius...(the one that destroyed Pompeii-not the really big one!)! Vesuvius may properly be referred to as the 'ticking bomb' of Europe. The Tongan volcano has gone off in 1912, 1937, 1988, 2009, 2014-15, and studies reflect a much bigger one ca: 1100 AD. As with the VEI 6 blast of Krakatoa in 1886, we are awaiting the blast from 'Son of Krakatoa', which has already spewed forth on occasion. Tonga got lucky this time around.
