Tonga got hit so much harder than many thought (yeah...I was right)

NEW: Nuclear-test monitors tell @NPR the Tonga eruption is “the biggest thing that we’ve ever seen.”

The data they cite points to a much larger explosion than earlier estimates: possibly of 50 Megatons OR MORE!!https://t.co/mNPsgpe1EJ pic.twitter.com/NmFD2obuYw

This is a perfect example of people refusing to believe what they see with their own eyes. To me it was obvious that Tonga got obliterated by that volcanic eruption. What was the response on the blog? Silly Solly? Amazing. Another idiot that could not wrap his mind around the reality of the situation. Others talked about the blast being relatively small after I said it looked like it got hit with several nukes. Now we have this report.

To those clowns understand this.

We are not the same.

We will look at things, try to piece together available information and arrive at conclusions.  Sometimes we're right, sometimes wrong but we use the info available and don't default to "what the news media says"...especially when we've seen the mainstream news fail over and over and over again.
