It seems the Hunga eruption in Tonga was a one-in–1000-year event:
Radiocarbon dating suggested one major eruption of this scale occurred about AD1100 and another in AD200
And we heard it here at Waikawa Beach, 2,500 Km away. 🌋

I love simplicity and silence. I enjoy taking photos of birds. I live at Waikawa Beach in New Zealand, which I love, and strive to be an actively decent human being. Apparently the bizarre is normal now. Now 68, I'm super happy to be getting old — it means I'm not dead yet! 100% human. I joined the MB community on 05 January 2018.
