Large-scale eruption of the Tonga Islands

At midnight last weekend, I think many people are unintentionally prepared for a sudden area mail.
At around 13:10 Japan time on Saturday, January 16th, in the Tonga Islands in the South Pacific
A large-scale eruption occurred at Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haapai Volcano.
Initially, it was announced that there was no concern about tsunami in Japan,
Due to fluctuations in tide levels, tsunami warnings and tsunami warnings were issued along the Pacific coast of the Japanese archipelago.

I think it was the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake that passed through my head when I heard that it was a “tsunami.”
Even in Japan, which is about 8,000 km away from Tonga, a tsunami of up to 1.2 m was observed.
Those who were forced to evacuate in the cold would have had a very uneasy night.

As time went on, the local situation gradually became clear.
Looking at the satellite photographs, the land that should have been before the eruption has almost disappeared.
Also, I hear that the runway is thickly covered with ash, making it difficult to transport relief supplies.
The damage caused by the volcanic ash and the tsunami is enormous, and it is painful to see the news.

It is said that the climate change caused by this large-scale eruption may cause the “Ryowa rice turmoil”.
The voice is rising.
1993, which is said to be the “Heisei rice turmoil,” was a record cold summer, and rice became a terrible crop due to lack of sunshine.
That’s why people are worried that a big famine will occur this time as well.
“The impact of climate change is limited (Southern hemisphere only),” some reports say.
Without spreading uncertain information or buying up or reselling more than necessary
I want to keep calm.

We would like to express our deepest sympathies to those affected by the recent large-scale eruption and tsunami of the Tonga Islands.
