Two days after an undersea volcano erupted near the Kingdom of Tonga, the country is still without a means of communication.
SALT LAKE CITY — An underwater volcanic eruption near the Kingdom of Tonga on Saturday has left the country without means of communication.
The Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Ha'apai volcano eruption caused a tsunami on Tonga’s largest island of Tongatapu. Members of the Tongan community in Utah haven’t heard from loved ones since Friday . “A Tongan naval vessel left Nuku’alofa on Monday afternoon for the outer islands. Mission president for the Church’s Outer Islands Mission, President Sitiveni Fehoko, will travel with naval personnel on a second ship today. The Church has 135 missionaries in the Outer Islands Mission with whom contact has not yet been made,” said the church in an online update.
