Tsunami warnings have been issued in Tonga, Fiji, American Samoa and New Zealand after the Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha'apai volcano erupted.
Mary Fonua, a journalist based in the Tongan capital of Nukuʻalofa, spoke to 1News about what she had experienced. Fonua said she had had a"frightening hour" in comments to the channel.
Fonua was the journalist who covered the eruptions for the Matangi Tonga news site and said there had been"huge explosions""The first ones were the biggest," Fonua said, adding:"This long white wave, we could see coming from the horizon. After about three waves it had come over the road and into our garden.""The strong wind that we had is blowing the ash into Nukuʻalofa, I can feel it," Fonua said.
"There is nothing you can do about it. We are tough, we will just tough it out and see how it progresses," she added.
