Just hit CNN.com. They're reporting it as a 7.8 and was centered about 160 miles from the Santa Cruz Islands in the South Pacific.

57..

yeah, especially with all the other earthquakes and cyclones/hurricanes that have been happening lately

Just seen it on CNN now, too. It's crazy what's been going on lately with earthquakes and tsunamis

[EscapeGirl]

59....

*sigh* So sad. I feel so bad for all of them... And I know in my area, we've had a lot more earthquake activity recently, as well, and we're right on a major fault line. (Our earthquake activity has been very low on the Richter Scale, thankfully.) They're telling us to prepare, too.

now there's been an 8.1 quake off the coast of Vanuatu
might be a tsunami coming my way

[EscapeGirl]

61...GEEZ!! How far is that from the other earthquake that JUST happened? And please tell me you're not near a coastline!

[Chocbubbles]

62..
vanuatu's quite far from the philippines
i'm about 10-20 mins from a coastline

63...

This article has me thinking that it's the same earthquake, just with its location described differently? No? (I'm not familiar with the geography of that area...)

EDIT: Nope. They updated the article. 2 separate quakes. 15 minutes apart...

It said on this site: http://www.theage.com.au/world/tsuna...1008-gnrv.html

The (Vanuatu) quake followed a 6.7-magnitude earthquake that struck off the Philippines earlier this morning.

65...

I hope those areas aren't heavily populated.

[Chocbubbles]

66...

yeah, vanuatu is quite small
philippines are quite large but at least it was a smaller earthquake
cross fingers, touch wood

[Mistery]

Yes, I also cross my fingers that there won't be hurt people and damage
