I've got a dear friend that lives in Vanuatu. Is there more information than just that a 7.4 hit? Casualties, damages? etc?

Tsunami Information Statement #1

To: Tsunami warning system participants in the U.S. West Coast States, Alaska, and British Columbia

From: NOAA/NWS/West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center (Experimental Web Product)

Subject: Tsunami Information Statement #1 issued 03/24/2007 at 6:00PM PDT

A strong earthquake has occurred, but a tsunami IS NOT expected along the California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, or Alaska coast. NO tsunami warning or watch is in effect for these areas.

Based on the earthquake magnitude and historic tsunami records, a damaging tsunami IS NOT expected along the California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska coasts. At coastal locations which have experienced strong ground shaking, local tsunamis are possible due to underwater landslides.

At 5:40 PM Pacific Daylight Time on March 24, an earthquake with preliminary magnitude 7.3 occurred near the Vanuatu Islands.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Ewa Beach, Hawaii will issue messages for Hawaii and other areas of the Pacific outside California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska.

This will be the only statement issued for this event by the West Coast/Alaska Tsunami Warning Center unless conditions warrant. See the WCATWC web site for basic tsunami information, safety rules, and a tsunami travel time map and table. (NOTE: Travel time maps and tables indicate predicted times only, not that a wave was generated.)

If only we had signed the Kyoto treaty, none of this would have happened.

It's Bush's fault

It looks as though it's south of New Zealand. Is that right?

Prayers up.

A few years ago, Vanuatu was one of the places that the Global Warming cultists insisted would be under the ocean soon, and Michael Crichton famously mocked this theory in State of Fear, showing that the predicted sinking never happened.
