Tsunami warning issued after strong quake in Pacific Ocean
A 7.6-magnitude earthquake struck in the Pacific Ocean's Vanuatu Islands region early Sunday, prompting a tsunami warning for the area, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The quake struck 135 kilometers (85 miles) west of the island of Tanna, Vanuatu and 1,740 kilometers (about 1,100 miles) off Australia's eastern coast just after midnight local time (8:16 a.m. ET).
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued a regional warning for a part of the Pacific, including Vanuatu, New Caledonia and Fiji.
"An earthquake of this size has the potential to generate a destructive tsunami that can strike coastlines in the region near the epicenter within minutes to hours," the center said. "Authorities in the region should take appropriate action in response to this possibility."
The tsunami warning did not include the U.S. state of Hawaii, though some coastal areas of the islands could experience very rough seas and strong currents.

Looks like god didn't give francie the power of spell check
I know but maybe I commited the sin of not believing in him. Or maybe because I am lazy and tired because I was up all night taking care of my Dad who is terminally ill and had to shovel snow early this morning and I am exhausted. Oh well! Thanx for pointing out the obvious. Happy Holidays to all and I hope all is ok in the Pacific.
You are all certifiable.
Clearly...as we can here...we are the future and so we leave these who are truly disadvantaged behind...2012?
It's not 2012 yet. Relax people.
There are no athiest on a fallen plane. But that doesnt define whether or not there is a god.... People have thier beliefs and faith, and faith is just believing in something and hoping. The bible was written by the same people that claimed the earth was flat. Hmmmmm!!!!! And I'm not so sure about this one, how can jesus have his name if the letter j was around when he was born!!!!!
I suppose this Tsunami is also Obama's fault. I know some idiotic TEABAGGER can make some line of reasoning to connect how Obama is the one to blame for this Tsunami. Let's hear it TEABAGGERS!
The rate of earthquakes have not risen its the same amount of quakes we get every year however the size of the quakes have significantly risen its normal to be in the 3 area but the have risen to 6 7 area which seems to only increase
If you ever want a good arguement, you can always talk about, sports, politict, or religons. And I'm always up for a good debate.... GO CANES, GO BUCS GO HEAT GO MARLINS, AND GO TO HELL!!!!!!!!
Ditto with your response to Lament.
Cold is the absence of heat. Darkness is the absence of light. Evil is the absence of God. Without the belief in God, evil will spread across the earth. The world is corrupt and will not stand a chance when the prophecies are fulfilled
Someone with sense and moral courage. It's good to see. As for Witness... Evil is not the absence of God. Evil is the absence of kindness and compassion. I don't need a book or a set of laws inscribed on stone to tell me that murder is wrong or not to cheat. Kindness is the book by which I live.
A lot of these replies I see here are kind of shocking. Whatever happened to the love that Jesus taught above all else? Just because someone walks a different path from you doesn't mean that path is less worthy. God made them and while you may not see the wisdom in that creation, it really isn't up to you to judge. How can you call yourself a true believer while you second-guess God?
You idiots who don't believe in God better get a clue before its too late for your sorry ass.
What fitting words from a believer in God. A great and shining example of a fanatic!
Those of you that don't believe in Jesus (Yeshua) will come to know that He is real and His word is true! You still have time to get to know Him and to know that He loves ALL and only ask that you accept Him as the one true GOD that died for your sins!
You were not evolved from an ape...just think if that were true then why aren't there more apes turning to human in this age. You are not an alien if that were true then why aren't you teleporting back to your planet or doing what sci-fi would expect you to do. You are not an atom that evolved...please. God created you in His image and loves you as a child and hopes that you will recognize the treasure that He gives and that is Life and to have it more abundantly. We are not to look to actors or idols for our value, we are to look to Him and find our worth.
You will know whether you give your life to Christ or not....There will be a time that you will know.
God does exist!! And these Are the end times!!! Just as it explains in the bible!! My prayers go out to them all!!
Those with faith, no proof of God is needed. Thoses without faith, no amount of proof is ever enough.
If "God" were real and All-Knowing as is claimed, it would know *exactly* what proof each one of us would need. If it is All-Loving, as is also claimed, it would provide this proof freely, and not just leave the ambiguous trail of breadcrumbs that we have now.
I BELIEVE the word is called Faith....Look it up and learn something.
I have Faith that my tin-foil hat will protect me from aliens...
This (Believers or not) is the reason this world is in trouble. I worry for my childrens future. You people have no sense of respect for others. You get on a Website and type insults and bash other peoples beliefs. Who really cares what YOU believe. This is not the topic of the article. What losers. I dont worry about you going to Heaven or Hell, I worry about the future of humanity with idiots like you. Thats right, hide behind your keyboard and bash others on a day which might mean a lot to some people. The direction this world is headed is sad, because of fools like yourselves.
Well put believe.... Impressive. I couldn't have said better myself. Merry Christmas everyone. Be safe.
God works in mysterious ways....like mad mysterious.
