Earthquakes & Tsunami Warning (October 8, 2009)

Today we had several earthquakes. The largest was 7.8 at about 9 a.m. The centre of the earthquake was 295 km north-west of Luganville, Santo where I live. There was also a tsunami warning. Schools closed, stores closed, and people moved to high ground. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre cancelled the tsunami warning two hours later.
