On the morning of January 17 Japan time, my daughter and grandson were in a park near our home in Yokohama when she noticed that the clouds looked very unusual. She took some photos [1]. We speculated that the clouds might have been affected by the shockwave from the Tonga eruption.
Other people in Yokohama posted similar photos to Twitter [2, 3, 4].

- awb 5y agoWere these clouds formed before or after the tsunami hit Japan?
- tkgally 5y agoAfter. The tsunami had arrived in several waves over about a twelve-hour period a day and a half earlier. A page in Japanese with the arrival times and peak wave heights at various locations is here: https://typhoon.yahoo.co.jp/weather/jp/tsunami/20220115131000.html https://typhoon.yahoo.co.jp/weather/jp/tsunami/2022011513100...
- Rastonbury 5y agoNot sure if the article is referring to this but you can see the shockwave from the blast move the clouds before the plume of ask appears here: https://youtu.be/zoMRwyNhqJ4?t=6 https://youtu.be/zoMRwyNhqJ4?t=6
