Tsunami alert after earthquakePacific Tsunami Warning Centre issues alert for south Pacific 

By Jack Smith, correspondent in the Pacific

Yesterday, a magnitude 8.0 earthquake off the Solomon Islands has sparked a tsunami warning for the island nations of the south Pacific, with houses reported damaged in the Solomons.

The earthquake struck off the Santa Cruz islands, which are Solomons territory. The epicentre was 211 miles east of Kira. The US Geological Survey initially put the quake epicentre at a very shallow depth of three miles but later revised this to a much greater depth of 17.8 miles.

Local officials reported two 1.5-metre waves hitting the western side of Santa Cruz Island in the Solomons, damaging about 50 homes and properties. There were no reports of injuries or deaths. Villagers had gone to higher ground as a precaution.

Tsunami warning centre officials, based in Hawaii, said: "When damaging waves have not occurred for at least two hours then local authorities can assume the threat of tsunami has passed.“

Atenia Tahu, who works for the Solomon Islands Broadcasting Corporation in Honiara, said that most people remained calm.

Emergency service are to remain on high alert and local people are being urged to take care when returning to damaged property.
