There was an earthquake reported near the Solomon Islands on Sunday morning. The earthquake was a 7.6-magnitude one, and there most certainly were tsunami warnings. The Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii issued a warning for the islands, which lead to the Islands following correct procedures by issuing a warning to the people. Apparently the earthquake occurred 60 miles south of the Islands.
That must be so scary to be on an island knowing that a huge storm is about to hit and you have no idea what the aftermath will be. Luckily the earthquake didn't do any damage and luckily the aftershocks didn't affect the lives of most people. Technology today is changing by the minute, and it's amazing that a base in Hawaii could tell the Solomon Islands that an earthquake was coming!
