Oh no, not again!
Keep your eyes peeled on this New Zealand site....the tsunami registered quite well on it last week.

Wow, there've been two magnitude 7+ earthquakes plus one magnitude 6 quake in the Vanuatu area, and one magnitude 6 quake in the Philippines, all in the past two hours!

The tsunami (if one is generated) is expected to hit New Caledonia in about a half hour. I hope everyone has a chance to react to the warning.

The second quake measured 7.3 on the Richter scale and came minutes after the initial 7.8-magnitude strike, the US Geological Survey said.
Scary..... It wont be long for the big one to hit Australia..

I was just looking at the info at the USGS site....the two 7+ Magnitude quakes at Vanuatu are extremely shallow, at 30-35 km deep...the shallower the quake, the stronger the potential tsunami. The other quake was 580 km deep and thus is less of a risk.
The tsunami is expected to reach Fiji in 10 minutes. Check out the webcam...might be a live view of the tsunami:

Check it out, I think that's the tsunami....the sea has massively retreated and that water is building up...
