Tsunami warnings after 7.8 quake strikes off Solomon Islands’ coast
RT,

December, 2016
A
tsunami warning has been issued for the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu,
Papua New Guinea, and Nauru after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck
70km off the Solomon Islands, according to USGS.
The
USGS initially reported the quake as 8.0, but later downgraded it to
7.8.
"Hazardous
tsunami waves from this earthquake are possible within the next three
hours along some coasts of Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Papua New
Guinea, Nauru, New Caledonia, Tuvalu and Kosrae," stated
the warning issued by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.
A
tsunami watch was also issued for all Hawaiian islands, the US
National Weather Service reported.
It
was later canceled, as based on “all available data there is no
tsunami threat to the state,” the Pacific Tsunami Weather Center
reported.
The
center called on the government agencies responsible for dealing with
emergency situations to “take
action to inform and instruct any coastal populations at risk in
accordance with their own evaluation.”
The
epicentre of the quake was registered at a depth of 48.7km, according
to USGS.
Another
earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 5.5 hit 66km west of
Kirakira, Solomon Islands, according to USGS.
Two
5.1-magnitude aftershocks rolled through the same area at a nearly
20-minute interval, according to USGS data.
Earlier
on Thursday, the USGS reported a 6.5-magnitude tremor about 160km off
the northern California coast. It caused weak to light shaking in
coastal communities in parts of California and Oregon. The epicentre
was located at a shallow depth of 10km and 165km west of Ferndale,
California, according to the agency.

If a #tsunami was generated from powerful Solomon Islands #earthquake, here are approximated travel times - Please pray
The
Solomon Islands are located close to the so-called Ring of Fire, or
the circum-Pacific belt. The Ring of Fire is frequently hit by
earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Nearly 90 percent of all the
world’s earthquakes and 81 percent of the world’s largest
earthquakes take place along the Ring of Fire, which is associated
with a nearly continuous series of oceanic trenches, volcanic arcs
and belts and plate movements.
The
Ring of Fire – which is more a 40,000-kilometer (25,000-mile)
horseshoe than an actual ring – stretches from the southern tip of
South America, up along the coast of North America, across the Bering
Strait, down to Japan and into New Zealand.
6.5 magnitude earthquake off Northern California
The
US Geological Survey has reported an earthquake with a magnitude of
6.5 in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Northern California, with
an epicenter 102 miles west of Ferndale.
Seismographs
registered the quake at 6:49am local time (2:49 GMT), along the
Mendocino Fault, at the coordinates 40.507° North and 126.118°
West, ten kilometers (6.2 miles) below sea level.

6.8 magnitude earthquake near Eureka. I felt the earthquake on Hwy 101 in Burlingame, I just thought it was a truck passing @kron4news.
Reuters
initially reported the quake was 6.8 in magnitude, in line with the
National Weather Service reports for the same incident.
No
tsunami warning was issued.
