M8.0, Santa Cruz Islands/Solomon Islands
Posted by Island Chris on February 06, 2013 at 06:45:46:

This included one of the two areas that was having M6.0 quakes last week. These quakes stopped for a couple of days, and then there were a couple within an hours before the M8.0. So, this is an interesting pattern.

Five killed by local 1 m-high tsunami according to CNN. All regional warnings have been cancelled according to Pacific tsunami warning Center. I still emailed my sister and nephew in Maui. My sister likes to swim way out to sea. Her husband had trouble getting back to shore a couple of years ago because of current from the tsunami from a Samoa quake.
