We heard the Volcano from New Zealand (I'm in Christchurch) 2,727 km (1,694 miles) away. There was also a Tsunami surge up north so the eruption was huge.
We got 1-2ft tsunami pulses on the northern California coast from this. Fire departments up and down the coast were telling people to stay off the beaches.
The water mask was probably generated with data from 2015 or later, making the central part between the islands not water covered (despite the elevation being at sea level due to using much older radar elevation data)
"So, I don't want to make a habit of these type of videos". OA- You could read recipies out of your grandmother's cook book and we'd likely be happy. You have the voice.
I find these volcanic landscapes quite intimidating - put in a glowering cloudscape and they really become quite scary. Everything's on such a gargantuan scale. Réunion Island, featured in one of your recent MSFS videos, is one such place. Absolutely terrifying landscape to fly over - and watch that verticality - that 8.5000ft high volcanic peak creeps up on you!
Crossing my fingers for the person's out there 🤞 It's unfortunate that something like "International Rescue" doesn't exist. We definitely have the technology to make it real. Thanks for the information Obsidian Ant ✌️
International rescue???? Nz has said this morning it can not send aid because of the spread of COVID Nz has been closed for a while now yet They have been encouraging the peoples of the pacific in for the last 2-3 month with any of the drama ie tests quarantine etc Go listen to some world renown physicists before they are shut down like the top virologist have been Its Quite interesting what they are saying
While there's no 'international rescue' as such, there are numerous agreements with countries across the Pacific for mutual disaster assistance... both Australia & NZ have sent military aircraft in the last 12 hours to try to establish what the situation is & how to assist. There's also disaster & a specific volcano response team that operates out of the US (part of the volcano research team that works out of Hawaii) which assists with the science part of post-eruption & future monitoring by locals.
@@medea27 Great thanks for this information. I'm aware that there are instances that will act. Still, how does it feel when you are 1 hour stuck in dramatic situation. It feels like a lifetime or even worse. An organisation that could react instantly and give hope to people that are living a nightmare would be awesome for mankind 😉 Crossing my fingers for it to happen one day 🤞 Don't get me wrong now, I'm glad that something is done. On the other side I would not like to be down there waiting for 12 hours to be rescued, if you understand what I mean. Take care ✌️
Thankfully news today indicates that the island nation of Tonga seems to have avoided the widespread disaster that a lot of us feared would be the case. Tragically there are a couple of deaths reported due to the water swell, but Tonga largely seems to have been spared of largescale catastrophe.
There have been several warnings regarding a tsunami on the Australian Eastern seaboard and I’m worried even though I live on well elevated ground. Stay safe people
Oh man, I need to get my Flight Simulator out again. I have flown around the Pyramids and the canals of Venice. Cool program that I actually got at Goodwill. Amazing!
These volcanic eruptions around the earth is becoming quite concerning. Am i the only person thinking this. Over the last two years volcanoes have been erupting at an alarming rate worldwide. Whats causing it?
In Greece that i live,we had changes to air pressure because of the eruption.. It is quite scary when you think how easy an event like that can affect so many places in most of the planet
I am from Odisha. We here experience super cyclones every year during November and in December, some times in May. The problem with such Super cyclones is the Wind Speed goes beyond 285 kms to 325 kms per hour, it removes overhead sheds, tins and some times tower and cranes. Windows and Doors are flown away with that destructive wind speed.
The blast eruption of the Hanga Tonga Volcano was horrendously loud like a bomb blast. Am in Auckland NZ heard the big bang and had Tsunami waves as well. As NZ is in the ring of fire which is the plate that moves when earthquake shakes NZ. Am not surprise with Hanga Tanga volcano had a huge eruptions. It is mother natures work. We are also end time such will happen we just be prepared.
@@siriosstar4789 It sounds more dramatic than it was. I was floating on a little boat, heard a boom and saw a puff of smoke on the horizon. I was in Olympia. A long ways from the mountain. That was the second eruption. I did not see or hear the first. Got dusted in Oly is all. East of the Mt's got a lot more ash.
I really hope that they are able to start getting help out to the island. I heard that the people were concerned about Covid because they had not had any cases of it on Tonga. I don't blame them for worrying about Covid,but something needs to be done to help the people out there.
You mean "the flu"... that is known for hundreds of not more years! Humanities Gódgiven Immunity Systems and commonsense has always set that straight.... Not Corporations that never cared about our Wellbeing anyway🗣️☀️
If I understand correctly, the west prominence is Hunga Tonga and the east prominence was Hunga Ha'apai. When the volcano filled in the sea between, they became Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai. Since January 15th, though, Hunga Tonga has been much reduced, there is no volcano above the sea surface, and Hunga Ha'apai is no longer there.
On the first islands you mentioned the top island is just a small fragment and the lower left island is 1/3rd of it's size after the huge explosion. 95% of the island was wiped off the face of the Earth.
Imagine this being above water. It could ve been like , and if not, more powerful than Krakatoa s eruption from Indonesia that almost caused a short Ice Age.
It looks like Bing maps now after the eruption according to photos i saw today. The crater that was there as seen on Google maps has disappeared completely
So, this wasn't really an "undersea eruption", since the volcano poked up out of the sea 5 or 6 yeas ago. Presently, it looks like the volcano is surrounded by an island. Still pretty picturesque et cetera
I think you can boost your viewers a bit by doing more MFS video's as more and more people are hungering for relaxing and casual games. And MFS is definitely one of them :)
Do a simulation of part of carlifornia breaking off and falling into the sea after an eartquake , this event is so long overdue that it could happen tomorrow.
Awesome Vid! I also explored Mt Okmok in flight sim and google, love the imagery with snow coverage! I'm unsure what your religious views are, but the Bible does have interesting things to say prophetically, regarding an increase in earthquakes (in various places) leading up to the return of Jesus, I've been seeing an increase in Volcanos, which of course, go along with earthquakes, all over the world in the last few years, especially this one, might be worth looking into if your interested, especially if they continue to increase in the coming years! Thought I'd share, Thanks!
I know it's a remote location and everything but how the f Microsoft didn't update Bing maps since 2015 or earlier? It's outdated by at least 7 years...
@@Petalflipper yeah, but as you can see - there is no elevation data in some places etc I don't think this game could be as good as it is even if Asobo had full access to Google maps. Or maybe I'm completely wrong and it could be done with almost the same AI, who knows
if look on zoom earth you see just away from these 2 island about 10km it go off my be smoke when to left of it but look on which way wind going should when right but it didn't all video i watch don't match up were they say go off. i got it just before they block what ever happen on map
Aviso aos Portugueses, Fiz um Video no UA-cam. avisando sobre um Tsunami que vai acontecer ao Sul de Portugal, igual ao que aconteceu em 1755, e anos antes naquele tempo, a ilha de la palma entrou em atividade. agora é questão de meses até o Tsunami acontecer. quem mora ao Sul, e em Lisboa, melhor coisa a fazer é ir embora da cidade.
they use bing not google. and cause of that you wont get new info like you wont. where i live my house is not even there yet. its dirt and you can not see most places. i live on water front. kind of like a big island in the bid of land lol. there is a small town that gone underwater. people dive looking for things here. but we or so far behind bings maps. that you can not even see it. i hope bing well one day update. i seen a google map car last year.
It's interesting how "naïve" everyone is, in regard to "bad actors" on this planet! The video I saw, showed a "fat boy missile" dropping into the water, and causing a gigantic splash, and then it's visible even underwater for a moment, and then exactly where the splash occurred, the "nuke" detonates! Just before dark, c'mon man, wake up everybody! BTW, the Pentagon loves bombing sh%$, whenever possible! I've been watching volcanoes for years, and this is a first! Selah
The news stated the so-called eruption had the power of multiple atomic bombs. Hmmm, that makes me curious about the four missiles that North Korea launched this month. Two of those missiles were Ballistic missiles, all four missiles were directed into the ocean . North Korea would not comment on how far they flew. I believe Tonga is about 1,500 miles from North Korea.
Dear Father Yahuah, creator of heaven & earth & all that is in them, Please have mercy on the people & animals of Tonga and the people & animals round about the island of Tonga during this disaster, please help them & heal them all, if it be your will, in Yahusha Ha-Mashiach's (Messiah's) name i pray, ahmein.
We heard the Volcano from New Zealand (I'm in Christchurch) 2,727 km (1,694 miles) away. There was also a Tsunami surge up north so the eruption was huge.
Remembering when Christchurch experienced that devastation earlier. 🙏
We heard the eruption all the way from Fiji...
Sounded like thunder... tsunami also hit coast lines in Fiji
I hope everyone is safe.
Stay safe my friend.

This is the discovery Channel/ earth documentaries voice. Soothing to my ears!
😇😅😆
Bing will see this explosion as evidence that their "don't update and hope the area reverts to its former self" imagery policy is a winning strategy.
well there is less island than before now
but since they expect more eruption in the next decade maybe updating the maps isn't worth while
The weird & rare occasion when nature ended up correcting out of date imagery :)
No we just need nature to give some more of that ice back

the number of volcanoes erupting is consistent, its just getting reported more recently and plus the tonga eruption is notable for being so explosive.
Mate your vids are rocks !!!
speaking of the eruption, there were reports of people hearing it in alaska. dont know if those are confirmed though
edit: it has been confirmed
Holy crap! This was a hell of an eruption then!
@@dorkle9085 yep, check out Scott Manley’s video on it, shows there was a pressure wave that went around the world.

Reminds me of Mt St, Helens. I saw and heard that one go off, but it was not underwater. It was under a glacier.
You SAW it go off? can you give your impression . Not many eye witnesses to that event . .

The actual volcano is much bigger. The islands we can see sit inside or on the edge of a much larger caldera underwater.
