It was said the explosion could be heard around the world- I remember that I heard what sounded like an explosion Can't remember which day it was. Only that I thought wow what was that-Now I'll hear the sirene from firetrucks very soon-No such sound came and I forgot everything about this explosion, until I read about this eruption.
We have a shipyard here in our town-so it could very well have been there it came from. Markus

Yeah, probably some shipyard fitter dropping a spanner in the dock bottom.

We had a tsunami watch for it on the Oregon coast for 1-3 foot waves. I saw one news post about some minor damage later that day.

Has the volcano already paid for the CO2 certificates it has consumed? Or is it the Germans again?

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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcan...losivity_Index https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anak_K...0of%20Krakatoa. RULE 1 in Vulcanology: It ain't 'if' it's 'when' !!

Wiki reads my posts! Kudos to Tonga though. Tonga like Vanuatu and the Solomon islands on the World Risk Index to natural disasters, are the three countries most susceptible to disasters on this killer spinning mudball. Tonga's practice of tsunami drills bore marvelous dividends as the residents of the archipelago knew where to go at the eruption's first "boom", also heard in Denmark by a certain P.O.S.H cat lover"??! The confirmed death toll is...3!!...that's good government preparation by any standard!

It was a False Flag that went off early!
Putin was gonna invade the Ukraine while everyone was looking the other way.

Right up there with Onkel Neal hunting feral pigs in CougarTrap, TX on the the 4 of July so his neighbors'll think it's just celebratory firecrackers! Big Bang Theory for the practical hombre! Keep this ploy in mind when demolitioning Stone Mountain!

I think they'll demo Stone Mountain without having to use a distraction. They might have a harder time with Mount Rushmore though. The left would not be happy if a volcanic eruption caused the Earth to cool a bit that's for sure.
