Sue's news!!
MSNBC Breaking News: Tsunami watch in effect for New Zealand, Fiji after 8.0 quake off Tonga
  
 
My Signature Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me! I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.

Oh sphericals...I have a good friend, and member of TripBoards, from Long Island and his companion currently on holiday in New Zealand and they are off to Tahiti and Bora Bora afterwards.

Hope they aren't going to be affected by this.

It is both a watch and a warning, it encompasses such a large area and they don't know yet if a tsunami is active.

A watch/warning has also been issued for New Zealand and Hawaii. The earthquake was 20 miles deep!!! If the earthquake slided side to side, it will not create a tsunami, it hast too uplift.

A strong earthquake measuring 8.0 has rocked the Pacific island nation of Tonga, reports say.

The US Geological Survey said the quake was centred about 155km (95 miles) south of the island of Neiafu and north-east of the capital, Nuku'alofa.

It struck at 0426 local time (1526 GMT), the USGS said.

There was no immediate word of damage or casualties, but the USGS said a tsunami warning was in effect for Tonga, Fiji and the Samoan islands.

Earthquakes as strong as magnitude 8.0 could trigger a lethal tsunami, depending on conditions and the nature of the quake.

I just hope my friends are OK. They are touring for a couple of weeks, the member of Tripboards has been there before but his companion hasn't and it was a special holiday for them both.
