First off, here's the video of the measurements.
The ripples caused by the eruption are radiating from the North-West.
I have connected both Tonga and Oklahoma with a line in both Google Earth and on a Flat Earth map.
I have rotated the Flat Earth map by 15 degrees to make the US align on both maps.
Looking at the trajectory of the line on Google Earth shows the line coming in from the South-West.

I will make another post of the screenshot of both maps zoomed in and out with the line between the two places.

I have never heard anyone of any intellect say "Planets shine like the stars" there is not even a slight comparison.
Here is Jupiter, visible at midday, next to the sun.
So, I guess you are correct. In the fact that they shine brighter than the stars.
