Developing Story: Tsunami Advisory for Bay Area coast due to Pacific undersea volcanic eruption near Tonga. TongaVolcano Tonga tsunami
- The National Weather Service on Saturday morning issued a Tsunami Advisory for the U.S. Pacific Coast, including the San Francisco Bay Shoreline, following a large underwater volcanic eruption near the Tonga Islands Friday night.
The undersea volcano erupted near the Pacific nation of Tonga, sending large tsunami waves crashing across the shore there and people rushing to higher ground. Satellite images showed a huge eruption, a plume of ash, steam and gas rising like a mushroom above the blue Pacific waters.
As night fell, there were no reports of any damage and the Hawaii-based tsunami center canceled the alert. The explosion of the Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha'apai volcano was the latest in a series of spectacular eruptions.
