THE DAY AN UNDERWATER VOLCANO ALMOST WIPED OUT A NATION
Tonga disaster highlights the hidden dangers of underwater volcanoes - Washington Post
Ha’apai had awakened, and on a balmy afternoon in January 2022 it began blasting its insides into the sky above this Pacific island chain with a force unmatched in recent history.
People thousands of miles away heard the explosions. The plume of ash and gas blotted out the sun. Tsunamis hurtled outward, engulfing villages in Tonga’s low-lying islands and crashing into shorelines as far away as Peru.
It was one of the most powerful volcanic eruptions ever recorded. And it was a wake-up call.

On 15 January 2022, an underwater volcano in Tonga – the Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha’apai – erupted violently, releasing billowing plumes of soot, water vapour and sulphur dioxide high into the atmosphere.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — The last wild Atlantic salmon that return to U.S. rivers have had their most productive year in more than a decade, raising hopes they may be weathering myriad ecological threats.
Officials counted more than 1,500 of the salmon in the Penobscot River, which is home to the country's largest run of Atlantic salmon, Maine state data show. That is the most since 2011 when researchers counted about 2,900 of them.

City of Roanoke releases details of floodplain map update
Roanoke’s updated Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) floodplain maps have been approved and a little more than half of total properties were unaffected by the new maps, according to a city news release.

Talk about rearranging the deck-chairs on the Titanic:
Roanoke is busy drawing flood maps and opining about Roanoke River floods that would be under control except for a Failed $72-MILLION flood-control project hijacked by snail-darters and log-perch.
