A strong earthquake of 6.9 Magnituda was hit in the Solomon Sea on Saturday, according to the geological survey of the United States. For some parts of the Papua New Guinea coast, a “threat from tsunami” was issued.
The US warning system for the tsunami said waves from 3 to 10 feet above normal tide levels are possible near an earthquake epicenter. The system did not issue warnings for places elsewhere in the Pacific.

While seismologists are reviewing available data, they can revise the reported earthquake size. Additional information collected about earthquakes can also list USGS scientists to update the earthquake map.

The tenses can happen for days, weeks or even years after the first earthquake. These events can be the same or larger size than the initial earthquake, and they may continue to affect already damaged sites.

All of the above are Papua Nova Guinea’s time. The Shake data is from Saturday, April 5 at 6:20 pm Papua Nova Guinea. The assistance for help is from Saturday, April 5 at 8:04 pm Papua Nova Guinea.
