Fiji to Tonga is 800 Km! Turn up the volume and watch this video clip of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano eruption as heard in Fiji. Must have been deafening in Tonga.

@Miraz That’s amazing and disturbing both!

@Miraz Oof, I can’t imagine what people were thinking when they heard that.

@jabel I see that now the pressure wave has reached the UK.

@Miraz If that’s the sound with 800 km of distance, I can’t even imagine what it must have been in Tonga 😱

@Portufraise I knowwwww!

@Portufraise Reports say it could even be heard in Alaska, 10,000 Km away!

@Miraz opps

@Miraz I see what you mean with it sounding like artillery shells.

@Miraz do you know what the time delay was between the eruption and you hearing it?

@Miraz that is scary and loud!

@strandlines They reckoned it travelled at about 1,000 Kph and so we heard it around 2.5 hours after the event.
