Summary
| Description |
English: In the wake of a magnitude 8.0 earthquake, tsunami waves rolled onto the Tongan island of Niuatoputapu. The New Zealand Herald reported that waves up to 6 meters high hit the island. The north-east shoreline (facing the earthquake epicentre) received the most damage, followed by the towns of Hihifo and Felehau. Nine residents were killed. In this image vegetation is red, while bare ground is pale blue-grey. The dark red area along the eastern side of the island likely indicates damaged or inundated vegetation. Clouds and breaking waves are white or cyan. |
