The
Pacific Tsunami Warning Center immediately issued a regional tsunami warning for 11 nations and territories, including Vanuatu, the
Solomon Islands,
Papua New Guinea, Nauru, Fiji and Kiribati. A tsunami watch, a lower level of alert, was in effect as far away as
Australia and New Zealand. There were no immediate reports of injury or damage from officials in
Vanuatu, a chain of 83 islands. It lies just over 1,400 miles (2,200 kilometers) northeast of
Sydney, Australia.
The latest warning comes just two weeks after a quake of magnitude 8.3 rocked the South Pacific near Samoa, sparking tsunami waves that killed at least 178 people and devastated coastal villages in Samoa, American Samoa and in northern Tonga.
I worry that this one will be just as bad as the other one..............
