The USGS reports the epicenter of the volcanic eruption was at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, DC.

There is a video of the tsunami hitting concert, from someone who had been recording on a smartphone. It’s pretty disturbing so I don’t recommend watching it for folks who are sensitive to it.

OMG! Horrific. And we think we have troubles.

Al Jazeera does a better job than the US media I’ve seen reporting this catastrophe and provides some context for the concert footage; e.g., https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/12/indonesia-tsunami-video-shows-waves-crashing-rock-concert-181223064921045.html

NB: Most members of the band apparently survived

I’m so glad to hear that.

Mt. Etna is going off. They closed the airport in Catania.

Death toll over 370 now.

It’s 489 as of this a.m.

Only one member of the band survived, and he lost his wife too.
