Kinda shallow for this area but still deep...so should not be a tsunami threat...

Silly me! I had no idea these islands were located in the South Pacific, 600 miles or so from Tonga. I do hope our future crop of defensive linemen for the NFL are okay.

Geography lesson required. By the sound of the name, I was thinking an island off Iceland or in the Aleutians.

Yeah sorry about that...Kermadec’s eq’s are well known...just thought everyone knew by now.

The area is primed for a Mega-Quake in my opinion but more importantly there has been a lot of activity on the Pacific plate these past hours from Alaska, California, Mexico, Chile and Japan...definitely movement of the plates today.
