I saw the first video earlier in a weather report. There were some low level tsunamis recorded in Hawaii from that, in the one to two foot range.
The second video makes me ask the perennial question of why people who use their cell phones for video recorders never think to rotate the phone to get a landscape capture rather than a narrow portrait capture. Too busy thinking "I'll get millions of hits on this when I post it" instead of thinking about what they're doing.

I still wonder how video manages to be 240p resolution when that resolution pretty much hasn't existed on cell phones for over 15 years.

I guess the people on the boat were not too worried about a Tsunami.

Just saw a video from one of the other islands of the Fiji chain. They should have been a little concerned about a tsunami.
That eruption was amazing, but nothing like the ones my two ex-wives made!
I hope the people that live on those islands near that eruption live thru this. Mother nature can be quite stunning while being devastating at the same time.

^^^ THIS!
Drives me nuts! And when the news media puts the blurry, moving pillars on both sides to fill the screen it's just too big of a mess...I can't watch.
Add to that the rapid panning back and forth and jumping up and down I get dizzy and fall out my recliner (gotta start remembering to fasten my seat belt).

The left will all blame this on Donald Trump and part of the Jan 6 DC protests.......or Russia.

You know Samsung made a TV that is supposed to auto-rotate for portrait mode video. I bet it does not work well though. Most portrait video you come across is only a few seconds long.
