New Zealand Pix of Tsunami Damage on Tonga; Photos Leaked Online Show Much Ash on Island

 Aerial images prepared by the New Zealand defense force for the Tongan government have been leaked online and show some areas have had "catastrophic" devastation inflicted by this week's tsunami and volcanic eruption under the Pacific Ocean, while other areas were relatively unscathed, The Guardian website reports today (January 18, 2022).


Many areas were assessed as having limited damage, such as ash on building roofs, pools of surface flooding, or debris.


But other areas were judged to have sustained "catastrophic" damage, according to notes on the images.
