7.5 Earthquake in PNG
A sizable earthquake hit PNG 34 mins ago, though out to the islands in the Solomon Sea. Tsunami warning doesn't reach as far as Australia.

Pretty big, even for there. We've had a few large ones in the last couple of weeks but no tsunami threat to Aus from them .....:fingerscrossed: it continues.
And then there was an NZ quake at mag 6 on the 4th. Looks like the film "2012" was just three years too early, and Los Angeles will slide into the sea ;) |

It was actually a sequence of them, all roughly the same size, travelling north up the fault and onto land.

I still remember the night watching the waves cross the ocean after the quake off South America a few years back which DID generate a warning- at one point it looked like inundating much of the Gold Coast. |
