Volcano Eruption Video : Tonga 2022 The incredible power of last week’s Tonga volcano eruption reverberated around the world. Satellites in space captured the action even before the eruption started, showing the island sinking and then later the mushroom cloud and pressure waves expanding outward.
Approximately 200,000 lightning events struck near Tonga in the first hour of the eruption. People as far away as Australia and across the ocean in Alaska and Canada heard the sonic boom.

Barometers around the world, such as this one in Switzerland, recorded the pressure wave from the South Pacific explosion. And tsunami waves affected shores all the way on the west coast of the United States.

If this rivals the Karkatoa explosion of 1883 the environmental impact will be interesting. Global temperatures dropped significantly for at least a year afterwards. Fortunately this is a smaller eruption.
Australia and NZ are trying to do flyovers to assess the damage but there is too much ash at the moment.
Of course the most famous volcano eruption is not on video. That being the Pompeii eruption in Italy thousands of years ago. Lastly, an amazing site to visit!
