The violent eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano triggered a tsunami with waves reportedly measuring 2.7 feet crashing into buildings on islands in Tonga including the main island of Tongatapu.
The M.E.T. in Samoa issued a tsunami advisory with authorities in neighbouring countries also alerting their local population while urging people to stay away from the coast.
The tsunami advisory issued by the M.E.T. was canceled 6.34am Monday, though authorities urged the public to exercise caution as the volcanic eruptions in Tonga continue.
