USGS: 7.2 quake strikes near Marianas
A 7.2-magnitude earthquake has struck south of the Mariana Islands, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The Mariana Islands - an archipelago in the western Pacific Ocean - are made up of two U.S. territories, Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The islands sit about three-quarters of the way from Hawaii to the Philippines.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center did not issue a tsunami warning after the quake, which struck at 7:19 a.m. Saturday (5:19 p.m. ET Friday).

aaron you should know how to use spell check right? I guess you would know the answer to your question.

Run for Higher ground!
wow CNN, what a story. How about you tell people where Marianas is; or what time the quake hit. Really, any bit of info that cuold have added to your one sentance would have been appreciated.
I was kind of thinking the same thing
They do this kind of crap all the time. They post a breaking news banner with such little information.
It is the island chain in the Pacific that the U.S. territory Guam is a part of...
Exact details: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/us2010zxcf.php
FYI, I called my folks in Guam and said they didn't feel a thing.
They probably don't know either and just pulled it off the AP machine...
Good grief.... did you ever think that this is all they know right now?
You are 100% right !!
I agree with you that news are interesting when are correct and complete with details !!
You're already on the internet, why don't you check it out yourself and learn a little?
Well .. maybe they shouldn't report the news until they actually have some to tell.
This is CNN. The place for useless and incomplete news.
Surf's up!
I THINK WE CAN BRING ALL OF THOSE REFUGEES TO THE U.S.....THIS IS A BIG COUNTRY WITH MILLION OF ACRES TOTALLY EMPTY, WE CAN TAKE MILLION OF PEOPLE AND REFUGEES BECAUSE THIS IS THE LAND OF GOD!!!
It's a US governed territory and has US military base! Would you like to restate your position? 🙂
Parrot, refugees??? Marianas Islands are a commonwealth of the United States..
You are insane!! We don't need any more 3rd world trash in this country.
um no
MY CHURCH IS WILLING TO TAKE 2 MILLION REFUGEES TODAY...WE HAVE PLENTY OF EMPTY LANDS IN NEW MEXICO, KANSAS, ARIZONA, NEVADA, SOUTH DAKOTA....I MEAN, THIS IS THE LAND OF GOD!!!
Good going, parrot: not only were you unaware that the Marianas are a US commonwealth, but you had to ANNOUNCE your ignorance WITH ANNOYING CAPS!!!
I clicked on a front-page CNN article and all I get is one sentence. "A 7.2-magnitude earthquake has struck south of the Mariana Islands, according to the U.S. Geological Survey." Well, that's keeping it pithy.
Why no news of this on t.v.?
is there any tsunami?
that area is incredibly deep....
Happens every day. Marina Islands are not heavily populated, so damage should be negligible.

A map and some other information would be helpful CNN.
Is that like by the Mariana Trench....
