Tsunami waves have hit the Kingdom of Tonga after a volcano eruption, which has sent residents fleeing to higher ground. Streets and buildings flooded in Pacific nation’s main island following latest eruption of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai #Tonga #Tsunami

"People have been forced to flee their homes, and streets and buildings have flooded, as tsunami waves crashed into Tonga’s main island of Tongatapu, following a huge underwater volcano explosion.

The eruption at 0410 GMT on Friday of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai underwater volcano, located about 65km (40 miles) north of Tonga’s capital, Nuku’alofa, caused a 1.2-meter tsunami, Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology said."
