@antipodean I'm assuming they either meant it was swamped or tectonic activity has displaced it.

@nta said in Tonga - volcano eruption:
People in quieter parts of Auckland saying they heard the boom. Woah.
Yeah all over NZ, is the pressure wave

Somebody posted up data from their barometer which was mental!

It's trashed our local harbor

@taniwharugby Yeah it was very odd. It didn’t have by duration to speak of, just a loud thud that shook the house. I looked all around the house to see if something had fallen over, but nothing.

Yep heard it in the bay. More of a feeling than a sound. Big, low, bang.

@machpants a rather ironic part of that, is that the Marina would likely have had most of its boats back in when it happened, given the storm warning for huge swells days earlier, loads of boaties would have returned for, er, safe harbour...one of my clients in that very predicament (would have been better staying where they were) instead, thier boat now sits with its bum in the mud and nose breaching the surface!
