From the Tongans who live in the DFW area, I can see that they have concerns since they all seem to be somewhat overweight, which is a comorbidity to COVID.BillBhttps://www.lastfrontierinbandera.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-91054172100544187842022-01-23T10:41:57.787-05:002022-01-23T10:41:57.787-05:00Very, very good points, Aesop!Very, very good points, Aesop!Malatropehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12187333180472067677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-47510910348951415512022-01-23T06:17:45.192-05:002022-01-23T06:17:45.192-05:00Nota bene:

We might make the place uninhabitable for US...in the short term.

Just as quantifying underwater volcanoes is a difficult thing.<br /><br />Here's the rule. Which is very difficult to figure out. How far away can you be and survive vs how far can you be and not survive? That right there determines how bad it is. That they are having trouble getting even surveillance aircraft over the areas affected says Hunka-munga-tonga-bomba was very very bad. The power to remove an island and the surrounding atoll, which HMTB seems to have done, is far greater than anything we or the French or the Russians have set off. Coral-encrusted atolls are rather hard and have great strength and to pulverize all of that takes a tremendous amount of sustained power, not just a simple pop but a continuous ba-da-booooom.<br /><br />Which is why I quite enjoy not living anywhere near any of the known fault lines. And the farther I am away from the Ring of Fire (the active Pacific volcano patch) is directly proportional to my overall happiness.Beanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293778848879361153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-54676479189593402332022-01-22T22:29:25.057-05:002022-01-22T22:29:25.057-05:00Has someone been feeding the Earth Taco Bell?
