An undersea volcano erupted near the island nation of Tonga, prompting a tsunami advisory for California, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii.

A volcanic eruption here would result in a huge tsunami. Something similar happened in Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai eruption of 2022 when an eruption generated waves as high as 20 metres.

Authorities in Southern California closed beaches and piers as a precaution. The Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha’apai volcano is located about 40 miles north of Tonga's capital.
