Undersea Volcano Erupts Off Tonga Coast
NUKU'ALOFA, Tonga — An undersea volcano erupted off the coast of Tonga shooting clouds of smoke, steam and ash thousands of feet into the sky above the South Pacific ocean, officials said Wednesday.
Spectacular columns spewed out of the sea about 6 miles from the southwest coast off the main island of Tongatapu — an area where up to 36 undersea volcanoes are clustered, said Tonga's geological service head, Keleti Mafi.
"It's a very significant eruption, on quite a large scale," he told The Associated Press.
Expect Pelosi, Reid, et al. to begin blaming Bush for this in 4...3...2...1... Followed by a bill to request a few $billion in additional "recovery" money.

It was likely the underwater eruption was taking place to the west of the low-lying twin volcanic islands of Hunga Tonga and Hunga Ha'apai, within sight of Nuku'alofa.
Sounds like actors in a pron film. :-)
