Well, let's just say that if that is the windward side of the island and a tsunami is coming, mauka is the direction you want to be going.

Can't wait for the "underwater" volcano to errupt at Nemo.

But wait. There was a tsunami-spawning earthquake AND an underwater, surface-breaching volcanic eruption ... both off the coast of Tonga today???

WTF?

And if that's the case, what kind of wuss south seas explorer is Gemini Cricket for being safe back in Hawaii???

But the real question someone needs to answer:

Is Tonga toast?

Geeze! I just realized that while I was watching for the Tsunami on the Fiji webcam yesterday, I actually saw the Volcano live!

The webcam auto-pans and at one point you have have a view of a small island. Yesterday there was a plume of smoke coming from the island (I thought) after viewing these new photos I'm now quite sure what I was viewing was in fact the volcano in action. Picture #3 is what I was seeing via the webcam (in less resolution of course)
