Hunga-Tonga Hunga-Ha'apai (HT-HH) emitted the biggest atmospheric explosion recorded on Earth in more than 100 years.

I find it amusing that even a (supposedly) science minded website like the first one you quoted still couldn’t resist the temptation of including populist media units of measurement for our benefit.

Oh, and its maximum velocity is about 25m/s
