7.0 earthquake strikes near Vanuatu in South Pacific
An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.0 struck Sunday morning off the southern tip of the South Pacific archipelago of Vanuatu, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The quake struck about 75 miles (122 km) southeast of Isangel, the administrative capital of the island of Tanna, and 134 miles (217 km) northeast of New Caledonia's Loyalty Islands.
A tsunami alert has not been issued for the South Pacific or the U.S. western coast.

Fine. It starts getting cool here pretty soon. But I love alaska...
I bet. Not cool here yet. I do like winter. *Some parts* anyway.
I really enjoy a hot cup of coco during cold weather. It is so soothing and wonderful...
I always put marshmallows in my coco.
Me too...but they melt so fast. It makes me sad.
Just throw in marshmallow shaped styrofoam, and pretend they are marshmallows.
And isn't Alaska rather prone to major quakes?
Hello Bimbo. We were just talking about marshmallows in coco. They melt so fast. Have you ever noticed?
I doubt that would work. It *wouldnt taste* the same Bimbo.
Yea Bimbo...we've had our share... Nothing major lately.
Just checking the records on USGS. Vanuatu had 2 big ones, a 7.1 and a 7.2, on Aug 20, so this is part of the same ongoing thing.
Hey banasy and raven. Not many trolls after midnight, I see.
I wish that marshmallows would last longer in my coco.
Nice try,troll. But Im not IN Alaska now. Wasnt banasy either. Not sure why youre doin this but knock yourself out, I guess. Simple things amuse simple minds.
Me too raven. I wish that my marshmallows would last longer in my coco. I see your troll is here.
And as confused about your motives as I am, thank you for not being mean while youre pretending to be me. Pretty warped that Im thanking a troll. sigh.
