Frightened Tongans fled to higher ground today after a massive volcanic eruption - heard in neighbouring countries - triggered tsunami warnings across the South Pacific.
"A 1.2 metre tsunami wave has been observed at Nuku'alofa," Australia's Bureau of Meteorology tweeted.
The latest eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano came just a few hours after a separate tsunami warning was lifted yesterday due to the eruption.

Ever check out cosmic lightning, Wm.? Not saying that's what is was or not, but we do have some of our sister planets passing close by, right now..... That can cause severe earth changes, weather, earthquakes,volcanoes, etc.
