Disaster alert accounts are preparing for a world after Twitter: be it #wildfires, #floods, #tornadoes, #earthquakes, #tsunami or some other #disaster, new API restrictions on automatic updates - and the characteristic Musk-era chaos over what the rules are and when they are applied - means you can no longer rely on Twitter for timely and reliable information.

Potential tsunami risk after major eruption at Ruang volcano, Indonesia
Indonesia’s Ruang volcano in North Sulawesi experienced several violent eruptions on April 16 and 17, 2024, forcing authorities to raise the Alert Level to 4 of 4 and warn nearby residents there is a potential of a tsunami if parts of the volcano collapse into the sea, similarly to what happened in 1871. The last eruptive episode at this volcano was in September 2002 (VEI 4). #volcano#tsunami https://watchers.news/2024/04/18/potential-tsunami-risk-after-major-eruption-at-ruang-volcano-indonesia/

Eventually, #Tsunami warnings enters around 7 minutes into the recording... and she almost loses her mind, literally shouting "HINAN!!! HINAN!!!" (RUN!!! RUN!!!)
