Satellite indicates a super Sonos shock wave traveling for serval hundred miles ^. Also tsunami per Twitter video on the island

That's massive and thankfully not a land based volcano near a populated area

I wonder what climate implications this will cause?

Think we would need to see more details in terms of height of the ash cloud. Certainly looked like an upper end eruption. Have they issued it a VEI rating yet?

Haven't seen anything yet on VEI , but those satellite pics show the ash cloud solidly into the stratosphere

I don't think they've called it but from what I can tell based on their ash cloud heights and past eruptions, it's likely between a 4 and 5. Definitely not a 6 but still a 5 is powerful. The ash cloud apparently went up 20 km, which is about on par with St Helens.

I’m sure it will find a way to pop a western trough.

The next question is it done or does it have a few more big bursts to continue the ash dispersal. Really early but man that was a big one. With the one last month that's 2 really big dangerous eruptions back to back.

I'd also ask if the back to back eruptions work cumulatively to increase the upper atmospheric ash deposits?

Tsunami waves ranging from 1 to 2.7 feet hit Hawaii. Nothing damaging luckily.

Must drive faster

Helluva shockwave if this is real

It's real. Remember reading that the Shockwave from I believe Krakatoa circled the globe twice

Also they are really not that far away there.....seeing reports this was heard over 1300 miles away

Anyone else notice about a 2hPa spike in pressure between 920 and 1005 am ET this morning? Pretty sure my ambient picked it up.
