I've got a dear friend that lives in Vanuatu. Is there more information than just that a 7.4 hit? Casualties, damages? etc?
7.4 is no little quake. Sending out a prayer....JJ61
This link is a Yahoo group with a link to a radio station there:

I hope all is well with your friend,
Any word? That's a big enough thump to generate tsunamis, and quite big enough for even the most jaded Californian.
Prayers for your friend.
