From the Australian Broadcasting Corporation: (Gizo has a population of about 3,000).

A ferry operator in the western province of Gizo, about 60 kilometres north-west of the earthquake's epicentre, says all the houses on the islands are under water.

Nixson Silas said he could see kitchen utensils and other belongings floating in the sea.

A journalist at the Solomon Islands Broadcasting Corporation in Honiara told ABC Newsradio that early reports from the island of Simbo spoke of damage to houses and waves travelling 200 metres inland.

The Solomons is a big place and there are a lot of islands, odds are your friend wasn't there - do you know what island he lives on?

Thanks for the info. The doctor is based in Honiara. But I can't help but cry for the Sisters and all the people on Gizo. I know that is wrong. I should only pray.
